GRRRRR ARGH(import .txt)

[Numbermind]

My Dynamic Text field does not load .txt files.

My code, as far as I can tell, looks exactly as it should. I've spent the last two hours looking through forums checking and double-checking stuff that people supposedly easily overlook(like the text color, or resizing the textbox with the deform tool). Nope, not even the slightest hint as to what may be going on.

Also, why can't I find the Scrollbar component?

Frame 1:

newsData = new LoadVars();
newsData.onLoad = function(){
     newsbox.text = newsData.news;
}
newsData.load("news.txt");
stop();

[oldnewbie]

newsData = new LoadVars();
newsData.load("news.txt");
newsData.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
trace ("done loading");
newsbox.text = this.news;
} else {
trace ("not loaded");
}
};

As for the AS1.0 MX only components, you'll find them here...

Thanks a lot! I guess I forgot to take into account the fact that importing is asynchronous. One more question:

What kind of changes would I have to make to the .txt file in order to support HTML? Does it look for "&"-tagged variables just like loadVars? Or will I have to split up my .txt's?

&var1=hello&var2=goodbye
that will create 2 variables

[oldnewbie]

newsData = new LoadVars();
newsData.load("news.txt");
newsData.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
trace ("done loading");
newsbox.html = true;
newsbox.htmlText = this.news;
} else {
trace ("not loaded");
}
};
