how to break results of a loop onto a new line

[tippytarka]

hi.. i've produced this script to load and loop through an XML file

////init TextArea component
menu.html = true;
menu.wordWrap = true;
menu.multiline = true;
menu.label.condenseWhite=true;

////load css
nomadStyle = new TextField.StyleSheet();
nomadStyle.load("nomadstyles.css");
menu.styleSheet = nomadStyle;

////load in XML
allData = new XML();
allData.ignoreWhite = true;
allData.load("roster_01_menu_artists_test.xml");
allData.onLoad = function(success)
{
        if(success)
        {
				
                menu.text = allData;
		allData=this.firstChild.childNodes;
		for(i=0; i<allData.length; i++) {
		menu=allData[i].attributes.text;
		}
        }
}

This might sound really basic, but have you tried adding a <br> tag in the loop itself?

for(i=0; i<allData.length; i++) 
{
    menu=allData[i].attributes.text + "<br>";
}

something like may be better..untested

//menu.text = allData;
allData=this.firstChild.childNodes;
for(i=0; i<allData.length; i++) {
menu.text +=allData.attributes + newline;
