Hi, Its been a while since i’ve used flash and now i have a question.

if you make a textfield.text like this

```auto
myText.text=" First line \r Second line \r last line";

```

Its no problem. But now what if i have ALOT of text.

if i do

```auto
myText.text=" First line \r 
Second line \r 
last line";

```

Flash gives errors.

Is it possible to have all the “lines” on their own line in my script? Or do I jsut have to live with a extremly long line?
