    Loading dynamic text into a scrollpane

    Hi:

    Loading text from a external text file into a scrollpane:

    1) Is this possible?
    2) How do you code it? LoadVariable / LoadVariableNum
    Not quite clear on using these components. Anyone have any more examples?

    Thanks,
    Indoda

    Go to the Examples folder inside the KoolMoves folder. Read the readme.txt file to get a full set of examples.

    Scrollpane only works with swf and jpg files I believe.

    Use menu bar Shapes > Add Dynamic Text.

    So Dynamic Text can be used to reference and pull in info from a .TXT file? If so, how does one set that up?

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Actually Bob, a couple more questions

    1. The box does not scroll down when the dynamic text file exceeds the bottom of the box.
    2. How do I change the fill color of the Dynamic Text box, if that's even possible.
    3. Lastly, when I change the .TXT file, it doesn't seem to change within my Dynamic text box.

    Thanks again for your help.
