I recently read the great tutorial on importing XML into Flash at [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/xmldataflash5.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/xmldataflash5.htm).

I am wondering if anyone knows a way to add a carriage return (a new line) at a certain point inside one single XML element (ie. something like: \<abc\> line one ??? line two \</abc\>. The one thing I got to work was to make my variable point to one element in the xml, then add + "

" then add text from another element. However this is annoying because for each text box I will have to know exactly how many paragraphs there are so that I can add the right amount of new lines and references to new elements when assigning the dynamic text’s variables value. Any help offered would really be appreciated.
