hello,

been busy on a project (temp: [http://www.sundanceclub.be/laluna/laluna\_try05.html](http://www.sundanceclub.be/laluna/laluna_try05.html)) where I load in data from a mysql-db in textfields.  
however when I put this in the db

line 1  
line 2

Flash outputs this:  
line 1

line 2

with an empty line in between. How can I control this ?
