As you will probably tell, im new here, and pretty new to action script (buti have some experience with over languages)

Ok so i have a dynamic text that is linked to a var, a string variable that has multiple lines(btw is that possible?). Anyway, when i play, in the place of each of my new lines, there are two new lines. The result is having tons of space between paragraphs. Why would this be and how can i make it work properly?  
Also, the newline only works perfectly when the text wraps onto the next line.

If you could help it would be greatly appreciated!
