Yeah, ther problems I was seeing are twofold:
1. Pasted-in text loses all newlines
2. Debug inspection of "preset" text using this syntax:
<mx:TextArea height="50%" width="100%" id="template" wordWrap="false"
change="trace(template.text)">
<mx:text><![CDATA[
package fundsmanagement.business.commands
{
import intelligentpathways.framework.core.CommandEvent;
#each field in fields#
//$field$
private var _$field.name$ : $field.type$;
#end each field#
public class $cmdClassName$ extends CommandEvent
{
public static const $constName$ : String = "$eventType$";
public function $cmdClassName$()
{
super($constName$);
}
}
}
]]></mx:text>
</mx:TextArea>
Shows that instead of "\n" I get "\r", like it's stuck in MacOS 9 mode or
something *shudder*
