Hey, i used this tutorial on the site:  
[http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/dynamic\_scroller.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/dynamic_scroller.htm)

for external text, it works okay, except for one problem…the when loaded into flash the text is double spaced…  
it looks like this in note pad:

homeTextStart = Test  
Test  
Test  
Test  
Test  
Test  
Test  
Test  
Test  
Test  
Test

and so on…

but once loaded into flash, it looks like this:  
Test

Test

Test

Test

Test

Test

I can’t figure out why it is double spaced…
