i am returning an array of text snippets from coldfusion, and with each 
snippet, I am returning the position where that snippet is found in the whole 
body of text.

in flex, I am putting the whole body of text in a text area and am putting the 
snippets in a List.

I am trying to set it up so that when I click a snippet in the list, the 
snippet in the body of text is hilited. However this is not working. In 
coldfusion, a new line character counts as a character. In a text area, it does 
not seem to. So my hiliting is always off by the number of newlines found in 
the text body before the snippet being hilited.

What I am thinking I could do is, in cold fusion, offset the returned index by 
the number of newline chars cold fusion can find before the snippet. To do this 
I would replace all newlines{2,} with one newline and then ListLen() using 
newline as a delimiter up to the start of the snippet then say curIndex - 
ListLen().

Thoughts? Ideas?
