Loading Text from External Sources

loadText = new LoadVars();
loadText.load("external.txt");
loadText.onLoad = function(success) {
    if (success) {
    // trace(success);
    newsBox.html = true;
    newsBox.htmlText = this.myNews;
}
}

Add variable name "newsBox" to your edit box, and make txt file.

external.txt

myNews=<b>Lorem ipsum</b> dolor sit amet <font color="#ff0000">consectetuer amet</font> dictumst augue Phasellus quis. Rhoncus Suspendisse dapibus interdum Lorem eros pede interdum Praesent Integer Lorem. Felis Pellentesque elit tincidunt auctor Pellentesque interdum sodales elit lorem parturient. Pede leo quis tristique justo quam egestas nibh nibh quis Sed. Sem Vivamus Curabitur et urna pulvinar consectetuer rutrum tortor elit vitae. Sed platea nunc vitae pede justo tristique Nam nibh condimentum.
