Hello,

I’ve been looking around but i couldn’t find a solution for my pb…  
Here’s what i do:

[AS]  
onClipEvent (load) {  
loadText = new LoadVars();  
loadText.load(“TEXT.htm”);  
loadText.onLoad = function() {  
\_root.MCtexte.createTextField(“lechamp”, 10, 15, 8, 387, 460);  
//trace(\_root.MCtexte.lechamp);  
\_root.MCtexte.lechamp.html = true;  
\_root.MCtexte.lechamp.condenseWhite = true;  
\_root.MCtexte.lechamp.htmlText = this.myNews;  
\_root.MCtexte.lechamp.multiline = true;  
\_root.MCtexte.lechamp.wordWrap = true;  
\_root.MCtexte.lechamp.selectable = false;  
// trace(this.myNews)  
};  
}  
[/AS]

Now my text file is like that:  
myNews=\<FONT COLOR="#FFFFFF"\>\<B\>This is bold 24 point text\</B\>\<P\>\</P\>\<P\>\</P\>blah blah\</FONT\>

As i could read on macromedia 's web site:  
Use an empty pair of \<P\>\</P\> tags to insert a line break. Use two pairs to insert a line break and carriage return.

But this isn’t working… Why???
