Okay, for my map editor i need to be able to read text files (loading maps to edit).

I was unable to load text files, so i decided you should just copy paste the code in a text file.

Now i need flash to read the string and place the tiles. The problem is that I cant split strings on enters. C# uses ’  
'. Z said I should use ’  
'. The c# method aint working and I get an error if I try to do what Z said (String literal was not properly terminated).

I use something like this:  
var lines:Array = input.split(new String(’  
'));

Thank you
