Hi Andrew,
I'm resending my response to this from a few days ago. Hope this helps:
The weirdness with any suppressed character is that MMExecute takes a string
and then hands it off to the JS Interpreter, which converts it to JS code.
In the case of the new line character, you want it to retain it's type of
string. In other words, when it gets to the JS interpreter, the interpreter
sees the "\n" as a literal new line character. It then inserts a line break
in your code, causing it to throw an error. You have to double suppress it.
Try this in your ActionScript code:
linebreak = "\"\\n\"";
If possible, you can also put your js in a separate jsfl file and call it
from actionScript using:
MMExecute("fl.runScript(\"myScript.jsfl\");");
