Dynamic Text All Running Into 1 Line?

Hey, ok to explain what i’m doing, i just want to convert special characters in from MS Word to simple characters. So you copy and paste what you’ve written in MS Word into this swf… hit a button and it converts the special characters into plain ones… problem is that when i convert it, all the new lines from MS Word disappear…

so:

Hello there.
How are you?

becomes:

Hello there.How are you?

It works if you actually press enter when you’re in the static text box, but if you copy and paste it from MS Word it just doesn’t work.

I have my Dynamic text box set to Multiline.

So i’ve thought of 2 options… either there is something else i have to tick or some little bit of coding i can add… or… maybe there is a way using the split and join function that i can add a new line where ever one has been added in MS Word, though i don’t know if that would be possible…

it would need to go .split(" ??? “).join(”
")

what would i use to identify the new line from the static text to convert it to the dynamic text?

Any help or any other way to do it would be very helpful

Thanx… Jesse
