hi folks,

when a user writes something down in a inputTextfield (in a compleet flash page) and presses enter (make a newline)  
how are the newlines then formated ?

with  
“\r” , "  
" or "  
" ?

is it crossbrowser ?

the reason i ask is that i save the data in a Mysql database and when the data return to flash i see “\r” in the debugger so, i think flash uses the “\r” newline format, but before i add the data into the database i want to parse the data with php

thanks
