I’m trying to build a pseudo-forum or tag-board in FlashMX, using 2 text file to store the tags and a homemade Perl script to post to this file.

The whole system works nice, but when i load the text file to a dynamic text window (with a scroll bar) in my flash movie, EACH CARRIE RETURN CHARACTER ON THE TEXT FILE IS CONVERTED TO TWO CARRIE RETURN CHARACTERS ON THE DYNAMIC TEXT WINDOW.

Anybody could give a solution please?

Thanks.
