text for a dynamic text box, creating new line

[onressy]

i have a var that i'm assigning text to and this text is displayed in a dynamic text box. The text is two paragraphs, so how would i break the text to start on a new line, like a <p></p> tags in html ?

Thanks!

You can use <p></p> if you set the html property of the TextField to true.

Or you can do: "First line\n\nSecond line"

So you have an external text loaded in a dynamic text field. You could use some html tags. To make a line brake you can use <br></br>. You have to select from the proprieties of the dynamic text "Render Text as HTML". To se the suported html tags navigate into the help:
Learning ActionScript 2.0 in Flash

For more accesibility you could use CSS.
