carriage returns in text files

[matt poole]

Im having trouble using the "\n" carriage return character in a text file im loading in.

The player is just printing the "\n" character as plain text. I cant format the text as HTML (see this (http://www.actionscript.org/forums/showthread.php3?s=&postid=106496#post106496) post)

Is there another alternative to the "\n" character that will work with external text?
