Getting data out of flash to a text file.

[Jaylada]

I'm having trouble getting all of the information out of a text block from flash....

When using 'auto wrapping'.... in other words, when someone is typing on a line, then it automatically goes to the next line for typing.......  I don't know how to get any indication to tranfer to either a text file or database.  (I was using the methods of a tutorial on this site) and the text info comes across, besides indicating a new line.....

Any ideas???

Thanks

Hi Jaylada,
if autowrap makes a new line, this is only valid inside of the component.

I works like all text editors (like MS-Word, WordPerfect, Notepad), the text is only marked, when you mark a paragraph with the <RETURN> key.

As long as there is no paragraph, it is oriented on the window or document size.
If the size changes, the wrap is newly generated. There is no such thing as a linefeed.

If you like to have a behaviour, that there will be a hard break after so many characters, you have to program it yourself.

I would not do it, beacuse you might show the text in another window with a slightly different size. Then it will look weird.
