FLASH: Using ascii codes in Flash variables for text formatting?

[Dan Sobczak]

Hi,


I'm making a flash movie that changes the text in a text field box once the

user clicks on a button.  I'm using variables to tell Flash which button has

been pressed, so it knows which text to place within the text field (by

setting the value of "Text" -- the variable that holds my text -- in an

Action).


So my question is, is there a way to use ascii codes within variables?

i.e. I want to have 2 lines of text in my "Text" variable, but I want the

two lines separated by a carriage return.


Basically I'm lookin to do the equivalent of:


Text$ = TextLine1$ + chr$(13) + TextLine2$


Is this possible in Flash?  I've not found a configuration that works yet.


Thanks!
