Here’s how it goes:

- User types into multiline textbox in HTML form
- Text gets inserted into MySQL db
- Text is retrieved via PHP and passed to Flash
- Flash displays it in a textbox

The thing is, there are always too many line-breaks. For example, where the user has typed one line-break, Flash inserts 2 or 3. So basically, there are huge spaces between lines/paragraphs.

When I print the text to HTML file via PHP, it looks fine.

Is there a step I’m missing? :h:
