Loading text into a input textbot

[gkbdave]

I am trying to load text from a .txt file into a input text box. However everytime I do it doesn't become scrollable. It just pastes the text into the box and eventually goes off the screen. I tried to add a scrollbar but that doesn't work either.

Does anyone have any ideas how I can load a text file into a text box have it scrollable and also be able to select the text???

thanks

Does it REALLY need to be a input textbox?
Try the new guy in town:dynamic textbox...they scroll and stuph...
you can dl any scroller you want or make your own scroll buttons.
Input textboxes are used for inserting variables, like in forms and stuph.

I have tried dynamic and static and still the same thing..
I am using Mx 2004

Know of any tutorials that are simple to follow? cause obviously I am not able to use this simple technique

Have you tried to check the multiline option and redimensionate the textfield for your needs(you know, stretch the textfield with a drag-and-drop movement from the little square that appears on an edge of the textline)?
To scroll it, check the (textfield).scroll function, it will be instructive, I can assure you.

I will tell you I have tried them all, every text box function.. input, dynamic, static.. I tried to make the dimensions on the box different sizes. It won't let me do much.

I have read tutorials that all you have to do is make a dynamic text box, copy text into it and then drag a scrollbar component onto it to make it work. But for some reason mine doesn't work that way..

I have tried typing the text into a box and make it scrollable also and that doesn't work either..

Thanks for the help.
