loading a text file and scroll bar component

Okay, after much seraching through the depths of the board i managed to discover that to write dynamic text into a text field and have the scroll component work you must use the instance name of the text field and not the variable name...

for example, lets say I have a text field with an instance name of 'textInstance', I would use this code to write into the text field and enable the scroll bar...

Code:

---

textInstrance.text = "dynamic text, blah....";

---

But, I can't get this working with an external text file...

could someone please post some code that'll do this...

THANKS!!
