    I use alot of external txt files, with and without scrolbar.
    In the flash previeuw everything is running smooth, but when I put it in the server, sometimes it takes way to long to load a 1K txt file or it doesn't even load at all.

    the problem seems to be worse when I revisit a link (so the first time things are ok, but the 2end......)

    Is there's a way to avoid this?

    thanks

    May be it is a %$#@@ host, but I figured when it is possible to preload the txt files (it's not much data anyway) would solve the problem.

    the code is a simple loadVariable(text.txt,"").

    Strange though that the first time it tries to load it works far better than the second.....?

    I saw an example of a loaded txt variable where the textfile was stored in a definition like "_root.textfile = blah, blah" but I tried that and it doesn't seem to work for scrolling my scrolling device.....

    any ideas on preloading or the _root-thing??

    thanks
