undefined when loading textfile

[amaterasu]

hello,

im making an exercise where i load a textfile in a textarea
and format it with a css page but everytime i test my movie
i only get undefined in the textarea
i did exactly what was written in my book so i dont understand
why this isnt working

heres the code

var flash_css = new TextField.StyleSheet();
flash_css.load("styles.css");
flash_css.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) {
	if (success) {
		news_txt.styleSheet = flash_css;
	} else {
		trace("error loading css file");
	}
};
var news_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
news_lv.load("newspage.txt");
news_lv.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) {
	if (success) {
		news_txt.text = news_lv.content;
	} else {
		trace("unable to load text file");
	}
};
news_txt.html= true;
news_txt.editable= false;

the textarea has the instancename news_txt

Is your newsPage.txt like this:

content=....contents here....

If not, then change the name to content.

ah thanks i needed to add that to my textfile thank you

can i ask one little other thing

i know how to use the loadmovie method

to load an swf into a specific target but how do i
achieve this when the button that loads the swf is on another
level then the target

i tried something like loadmovie("test.swf", _root.screen)

screen being the istance name of my target mc but that didnt
work

what you have is correct. you may have more luck with the method tho

code:

---

_root.screen.loadMovie("test.swf");
