hi:

i have a Flash movie (MX2004) receiving a string containing several
lines (carriage return separated). i need to show the text in 2 columns

i'm guessing the problem has probably been solved before and i don't
need to re-invent the wheel

thanks in advance for any ideas/suggestions

how is the text to be divided into two columns? is the first part of the text to be in one column and the 2nd part of the text to be in the 2nd column? do one or more of these columns need to scroll to accomodate all the text?
