Re: FLASH: CRLF when loading text files

[2Nerotik]

Percent zero at the end of each line if you want a single CRLF.


If you use a normal CRLF... by just hitting the enter key at the

end of each text line Flash, when reading the file in Flash, Flash

will give you 2 CRLFs for every single line you wanted.


examples:


1st text file with %0:

someVariable=theres a bunch of %0

text here but I want the right underneath %0

each other like this.


this text file will show up like this in Flash:


theres a bunch of

text here but I want them right underneath

each other like this.


HOWEVER


2nd text file without %0:

someVariable=theres a bunch of

text here but I want the right underneath

each other like this.


Will show up like this in Flash:


theres a bunch of


text here but I want them right underneath


each other like this.


AND to keep things consistent in the text file I use the %0 for blank lines 

as well.


someVariable=theres a bunch of text here then a blank line %0

%0

Now some more text here %0

with this line right underneath the other.


NOW the really important part : Upload the file to your server as a BINARY 

file,

not an ASCII file.


For some reason the percent zero gets negated when the txt file is uploaded 

as ASCII.

So instead of your text flowing nicely on each line, it all gets jumbled 

together with all

CRLF (percent zeros) being ignored in Flash and looks like one really long 

sentence


Took me a while to figure out what was happening because my FTP prog was set to

auto choose what type it should send the file as, when I figured out it 

should send the

file as BINARY rather than ASCII I removed the TXT extension from it's 

ASCII send List.
