Fixing Actionscript XML newline problem

I was having a nightmare with a newline \n coming through from an XML document literally as \n when I passed the text into a DynamicText object in ActionScript 2, Flash CS3.

Mark Page found this solution:

function fixXMLNewLines(str:String):String{
    var new_str:String = str.split("\\n").join("\n");
    return new_str;
}

It works beautifully!
