Re: FLASH: Carriage Return

[Wes Tilson]

Hi John,


So, you are saying that in Flash 4:

> No need for Chr(10) on a PC to get a cArriage return -->

> Set Variable: "lines" = "Line1" &  Chr (13) & "Line2"

> Set Variable: "lines" = "Line1" & Newline & "Line2"

This is true in Flash 4 because in Flash 4 Newline combines ASCII 13 with

ASCII 10 to

get a line feed and carriage return in a text field on the PC.




When I referred to a Text Box in VB5, I was correct in saying:

This is why when one brings a text file from the Mac to a PC, all the text

is on one line until converted through software. When a text file is brought

straight from a PC to a Mac, there is a special character on the line until

converted through software.
