I am trying to use the Flash MX 2004 Hover Caption tutorial to create tool tips for certain parts of my movie. I am struggling to get the text to display multiline. Has anyone tried this or know how to tweak the code? I have tried setting the dynamic text field to multiline but that didn’t work. I tried using /r or /n for carriage returns but also had no luck. Even rendering th etext field as HTML an dusing <br> tags didn’t seem to do the trick.
This is the relevant actionscript from the tutorial…

[SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman]b1.onRollOver = function() { [/FONT][/SIZE]
[SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman]captionFN(true, “A bunch of text here that needs to be displayed on more than one line.”, this); [/FONT][/SIZE]
[SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman]this.onRollOut = function() { [/FONT][/SIZE]
[SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman]captionFN(false); [/FONT][/SIZE]
