Topic: Get element by ID

Is there a way to imitate the get element by from JS in flash?. How can I imitate that in flash?

I would like to know how to change the text on a page when they click on the next button, like on this page:

http://www.labtronix.biz/labtronix_content.html

when u click on the arrow the text changes

I suspect that would depend largely on how and where (to&from) the text you want to change is loaded in the first place.

If I was doing it, I'd probably use a dynamic text field and then some ActionScript to load new text from different files each time the button was clicked.

Have a look at this tutorial of Steve's over at the GN:
Display External Text in Flash MX

and I'm sure you'll get some new ideas about what's possible and how to use it for your page. Give it a go and let us know how far you get.

thanks, i'm reading it right now
