All,  
I have the following code:

```auto

function loadXML(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
_root.myMemories = xmlData.firstChild.childNodes;
_root.myMemoriesTotal = myMemories.length;
for(i=0;i<_root.myMemoriesTotal;i++){
_root.name = this.firstChild.childNodes*.childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
_root.text = this.firstChild.childNodes*.childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;
array_txt.htmlText = _root.name;
array_txt.htmlText = "<br>";
trace (_root.name);
array_txt.htmlText = _root.text;
trace (_root.text);
}
} else {
  trace("file not loaded!");
}
}
xmlData = new XML();
xmlData.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlData.onLoad = loadXML;
xmlData.load("memory.xml");

```

This works good and the trace works fine however when it writes it to my text box it just keeps putting it over the other thing. How can I put in a line break to break up the text??

I tried to put in the \<br\> which is a line break in html and specified the HTML text but it doesn’t seem to work. Any ideas?

Thanks!
