I just tried this in my testbed project:
<mx:TextArea id="foo" width="200" height="200" wordWrap="true"/>
<mx:Button label="GO" horizontalCenter="0" top="10" click="trace('[' +
foo.text + ']')"/>
And it seems to work fine. I type some gibberish with a bunch of newlines
and get:
[sadasdad kjh sadlj hasdlkj hasdlkjh asdkjahsdlkajsh
adhjk ajkshd ailsjdh kalsjdh
kjhas dkjh asd
d
d
d]
Which as you can see includes the newlines. Can you post the source to your
textarea and the button click code you're using to trace the value of the
textarea?
