Then you can tell Flash to load it into a variable and display it into a textfield via ActionScript. 1. Create a new Flash file and the text field which you want to contain your text. 2. Go to Text Options panel and select "Dynamic Text", and because your text is longer than one single line "Multiple Lines". After that you can resíze the text field to its final height. 3. Enter a variable name in the corresponding field (sth. like chapter1) 4. Now the ActionScript part: Double-click the frame you're working on in the time line and the ActionScript Editor will open. The code you need looks like this: loadVariablesNum ("http://www.domain.com/chapter1.txt", 0); Replace the URL between the quotes with your text file's URL. 5. Save the word file as chapter1.txt. But before you do this you have to put an & and the variables' name in front of the text: &chapter1=Whole text of that chapter 6. Export the Flash movie and have a look at it... that's all! kuckus [This message has been edited by kuckus (edited 03-18-2002).] Loading...
