Flash uses \r (0x0D) only in text fields. All occurencies of \n (0x0A)
are replaced with \r. E.g. if you assign "foo\nbar" to a text field
and read the value back, it will turn to "foo\rbar".
For replacing certain characters use String.split() and
String.join().
However, it would be better to check the server-side script, since it
is probably not perfect if some data can lost during the process.

jh> Does anyone know if it's possible to restrict hard returns in text input
fields (fields must wrap)?
jh>
jh> I have form fields to capture user input that I'm sending up to the
server to be stored in a database. When I request this stored data from the
server, anything after a hard return is lost.
jh>
jh> I've tried something like this:
jh> my_txt.restrict="^\u0013", and a bunch of variations thereof, but
nothing seems to keep the Enter key from doing it's thing.
jh>
jh> Second best would be to traverse through a string a user has entered
and replace hard returns with a space or dash, but again I've had no luck
looking for \n or \r. I've tried entering text and hard returns into a dynamic
textfield set to input, but when I try this:
jh> var n:Number = my_txt.indexOf("\n")...
jh> trace("n: "+n) //traces "n: -1"
jh>
jh> Anyone have any insight into this?
