Try either saving your text file in unix format (or dos format - you can do
this in word).
Or replacing carriage returns in flash with line breaks.
yourText = "blah blah";
temp = yourText.split("%r");
finalText = temp.join("\r");
I'm not 100% sure that "%r" is the right code for a carriage return, may
have to look that up.
