Hi!

I have this text in a dynamic textfield:

_Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur adipisicing elit._

Let’s say I want to make a text break after Lorem ipsum, how the hell do I do that.

```php

package {
    import flash.display.Sprite;
    import flash.text.TextField;
    import flash.text.TextFieldAutoSize;
    import flash.text.TextFormat;

    public class TextFieldExample extends Sprite {

        public function TextFieldExample() {
        
            
        var label:TextField = new TextField();
            label.x = 200;
            label.y = 200;
            label.width = 338;
            label.height = 40;
            label.background = true;
            label.border = true;
            label.text = "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur adipisicing elit." 

            var format:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
            format.font = "Verdana";
            format.color = 0xFF0000;
            format.size = 10;
            format.underline = true;
            
        
            // outputText.appendText(today.toLocaleTimeString() + ".

"); 
            //outputText.appendText(outputText.length.toString() + "
");
            label.appendText()
            //label.defaultTextFormat = format;
            addChild(label);
            
            //label.setTextFormat(format, 0, 10);

        }
    }
}

```
