Hi,  
I’m developing a quiz, storing player details in a multidimensional array which holds player objects containing rank, name and score. The name is entered via a text input box in one frame and rank, name and score are later dislayed in dynamic text in a textfield in another frame. Rank, name and score should then be displayed in that order on a single line for each player in a scrollable text field. The problem I have is that the name appearing in the textfield appears to carry with it a new line command so that the third item of information on what should be one line (the score) is outputted on a separate line underneath. I have checked the various properties in the input field (I’m not entering it as html) and can see no reason for this.Ⓜ Any ideas on what I am doing wrong?
