New line in text field loaded from XML file

programming flash
1

I don’t know am I tired of what?!?!
I have problem whit new line in txt field.

This example works:

 
var my_str:String = "This is firs line
 this is second line."; 
this.createTextField("first_txt", this.getNextHighestDepth(), 10, 10, 160, 120); 
first_txt.html = true; 
first_txt.multiline = true; 
first_txt.wordWrap = true; 
first_txt.condenseWhite = false; 
first_txt.htmlText = my_str;

but if I put this text in XML and load xml to flash, after trying to display text in “first_txt” text field flash doesn’t render text with two lines, he doesn’t recognize “
”.

I’ve put (<BR>) <BR> instead of **
** and it works but I prefer to use **
**.
Anyone know how to accomplish that ?

Also is there possibility to use html tags inside XML without using substitution < - < or > - > ?

Thanks for replies.
Cheers
