createTextField and XML linebreak problem

[ben_tg]

I have been unable to produce a line break in a dynamically created text field using createTextField, which loads data from XML.

my AS2 script resembles the following:

myTxt = createTextField("txt_field",1,0,0,1000,1000);
myTxt.type = TextFieldType.DYNAMIC;
myTxt.wordWrap = myTxt.autoSize = myTxt.html = true;
myTxt.htmlText = xml.firstChild.childNode[0]; //previously loaded xml

I've tried various things within the XML to produce a line break such as:

& # 10 ; and & # 13 ; both within an attribute and within a node
<br> and <p> both within <![CDATA[....]]> and without
variations on \n and \b.

I'm still unable to produce a line break in flash from within the XML data.

Please help!
***this may or may not be related but I have successfully created line breaks by appending "\n" to the xml loaded text (in my AS code), but ONLY when the dynamic text field is part of a movie clip, NOT when loaded via code with createTextField
