I'm trying to display a complete txt file in a dynamic text field. (F8, AS2)

So, there's only one frame. I tried putting this code on the frame without any objects on the stage:

Code:

---

this.createTextField("superduper", 10, 10, 10, 320, 100);
superduper.autoSize = "left";
superduper.border = true;
superduper.multiline = true;
superduper.wordWrap = true;

var woot_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
woot_lv.onLoad = function (success:Boolean):Void {
    if (success) {
        superduper.text = woot_lv;
    } else {
        superduper.text = "Unable to load external file.";
    }
}

woot_lv.load("http://sites.google.com/site/televiv2/files/test.txt");

---

It displays weird stuff in place of "-", space, tab, and going down a line.

The text is supposed to look like this:

Yo, this is a test.

------So I want to try this, see how
well it works. Haha.

Hi,

it looks like you want to send the innards of a loadvars object to a text field ...
Have a look at XML onData() method instead
