Reading a file. help!!

I was wondering if there was a way for flash to read the contents of a text file and throw it into a specific text box.

Quick example: Say I had a complete flash web site and wanted to update the "terms and conditions" for the site. Well could I have the terms and cons in a text file and have flash import contents of the file into the movie. That way I would only have to update the text file and not have to completey re-save and upload the complete movie.

Thanks for your replies.

Sure, it's easy. I'll attach a fla with a scrolling text box in it. Take out the scroller if you want, and use a different text box, but keep the code and the instance name of the text box the same. This will show how it's done.
