[RESOLVED] Code Output Assistance

[old_blueyes]

Thanks very much! Greatly appreciated!!

Hi,

Ok, it does output, but it is traced, so you will not see it in the created swf file.

If you make a multiline text field, selectable ( so you can scroll it), and embed the font (any font), give the text field a name of"myText" and swap your code for this, or add the line i have added, it is commented
