Interesting. How about the following statements, which don't include
any empty strings:
// Frame action in the main timeline
var my0_str:String = newline;
my0_str += newline;
var my1_str:String = newline+newline;
// [Debug] > [List Variables]:
Variable _level0.my0_str = "\n\n"
Variable _level0.my1_str = "\r\r"

Well, it seems inconsistant, but it's not really unexpected. Without
the empty string both hard returns are appended to the end of the
previous line, which isn't technically correct, but makes sense in
context. With the empty string there is an empty line (your new line),
so a line feed is used to go to the next line. Hard return ends a span
of text by breaking to the next line. Line feed passes over an empty
line without moving the cursor, which is why a hard return (a.k.a. a
"carriage return") is needed at the end of a span of text. It's
old-school logic based on how it would render on paper. If you used a
line feed without a carriage return, the "proper" way to render it would
be to move down one line without moving to the first column. Without the
empty string, though, there is no new line to pass over, so the html
kluge is to simply hard return again.
Good luck,
