Alright, I’m new to flash and actionscript, and I’m making a site in flash for a school project. I was wondering what the command would be to cause a line break when text is inserted through actionscript.

```auto
 
hometext.text = "Text here";

```

Another problem I’m having is I have buttons that move out when the mouse is over them. I want to know how to lock the button in it’s “moved out” state so that the user knows which catagory they’re in, and for the button to move back when a new button is locked in a “moved out” position.
