If you mean putting some specific text (not a variable), separated by 1

or more blank lines, just set up your assignment like this:


Set Variable: "textstr" = "first line followed by 1 return" & newline &

"2nd line followed by 2 returns" & newline & newline & "last line" 

(yes, Expression has to be selected in the value box and you just supply

your own quotes for the literal part) to get this in the textstr field:


first line followed by 1 return

2nd line followed by 2 returns


last line


Those are cut and pastes from a fla file and the textfield in test

movie, respectively.  Seems to work fine.
