Tutorial on using scroll panes with dynamic text

[wade_br]

I know this is probably easy but I am having trouble loading text from a eternal file off the server. How do I do this with a scroll pane.

in the first frame on your timeline (or where necessary) use:

loadVariablesNum("yourText.txt", 0);

your text field should have a variable name associated with it eg. myText

in the external text file make sure you refer to your textField variable name:

myText=blah blah blah

hope this is of some help. i have just completed a site using external text files and it seems to work ok.

is there a tutorial on doing this I have never loaded anything into a scrollpane I have used code to load thumb nails and pictures but not into a pane. Thanks for the help.

not sure about a tutorial - i imagine there would be tons if you did a search on this site or even yahoo or something.

i have been referring to the flash MX bible. quite good.

i am sure someone will be able to post a link to a suitable tutorial for you.

Doing good so far as to your intructions but in the text file do I need to do anything to the

myText=name

or just have it at the top of the text I want in the scroll pane?
