hmm, the string that is being targeted is held in a variable that is
set from an xml file so should just be a regular string, i'll look
into this tho.
Thanks Rich

I think the problem is that you're pulling your string from another
text
field. In that case, the characters are just characters, rather
than control
codes. This subset of your code works fine:
var tmpField:TextField = this.createTextField("my_txt", 1,
0,0,100,100);
tmpField.selectable = false;
tmpField.border = true;
tmpField.type = "dynamic";
tmpField.multiline = true;
tmpField.wordWrap = true;
tmpField.text = "test\rtest";
However, putting "test\rtest" in another text field, and then
saying this:
tmpField.text = other.text;
shows the characters. If you have to pull text from another field,
try using
HTML and setting the .html of one field to the .html of another field.
