problem with loading external tex

[robmcfeters]

I am having a problem with loading an external text file into a dynamic text field, which uses a FSscrollbar component. The movie is only loading about half the text file. It scrolls down, but stops at a certain point. Why isn't it loading the entire text file?

any help would be greatly appreciated.

Do you have an "&" in your text file, where it breaks off?

If so, the "&" is reserved in Flash to indicate the start of a new variable... You should thus replace it with %26 instead...

Somewhere in Southern California a man found a phone number hanging on a wall. Two weeks later, Nevea Tears formed. With humble beginnings as six unique individuals who by all accounts should have never even known each other, much less been in a band together, Nevea Tears finally solidified its line up in late 2002. Soon after, Nevea Tears quickly established themselves as one of the most dynamic upcoming bands around. With powerful vocals, hypnotizing keyboards, and crushing breakdowns the band almost immediately established a reputation of live shows filled with intensity, madness, and the occasional blood loss. Combined with songwriting that incorporates a multitude of sounds ranging from hardcore to pop punk to techno, the versatility of Nevea Tears can only be described as screamatronic. Continually defining and refining the genre, Nevea Tears continually proves to both surprise and amaze fans.

would the ampersand, in my hyperlinks, be disrupting the loading of the text file? if so, is there a way around this?

[oldnewbie]
