I’m creating an XML driven news scroller for the intranet here at school and  
I’ve got a dynamic textbox to which i’m loading node attributes from an XML file…

It all loads nice and neat… but it’s all on one line…

I typed “content\_txt.” to bring up the intellesense but could not find a newline or a cr\_lf type method.

Do I need to put blank nodes in my XML file?  
Or is there a way to do this via AS?

The former would be tacky and unprofessional…

And yes my textbox, instanced “content\_txt”, is multiline, HTML encoding is enabled, and it’s selectable (if any or all of that matters)
