loading external text...

[lemmyz]

Is there anyway i can load text from a doc file?

What i need is when loading an external text for example my band's news, view the date of the new in different color and font size. Is this generally achievable when loading from external file? I cannot do this with .txt files

You can do it from .txt files but with html formated text. Flash only yet supports some 11 or so html1.0 tags, although the < li> tag also somewhat works...

I took a look at that link.
What i have is a text like this:

12/03/04

blblablabllaablablablabla.....

13/03/04

claclaclaclalclal.....


assuming this text is in .txt file, when adding a new date in that file how can the be different in color etc when loaded in the text field. Otherwise it'll be the same for me everytime to edit the actions in the .fla file for the updated dates...
