I know how to load external text, but I am trying to have it load into a masked movie clip so then I can use a custom scroller to scroll the text up and down. The problem is that I can't get the scrollbar to scroll the text at all. If I just put in type in text into the movie clip, it scrolls fine. I have checked my paths and everything is correct...

I've created a dynamic text box with buttons to scroll the text up and down. I'm not using the component that comes in flash mx. If I hard code text into the box, my scrolling functionality works. Now I've tried to take it a step further and load the text from an external .txt file using the following code:
loadText = new LoadVars();
loadText.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {

external text loaded into scroller - xml Im loading an xml file into a scrollable text box using this script:

function xmlLoad(newXml){
menuXML = new XML ();

OK, I've worked on this for days, I would like to make the box drag-able, however I loose my text when I add the drag function. It has something to do with the cliphandler and a conflict.Everytime I add the following code it kills my text and or image.
Code:

Is there any way that can I scroll text from an external .txt file BUT to include links IN the text that will make an action to be performed?
I mean... loading external text that by clicking on a word or phrase an onRelease action can be assigned to it.
an example I've seen is in tobymac.com in the news menu , the scrapbook section. the text is loaded from external file and it have an action. It works just as any button in flash
I had some dynamic text with a scroll bar and it was working fine. Then I decided to use HTML formatting and bring it in through an external .txt file using the following code:
myLoadVars = new LoadVars();
myLoadVars.onLoad = function() {
ContactText.htmlText = myLoadVars.myHTMLdata;
} myLoadVars.load("ContactText.txt");
The text is loading fine except that my scrollbar has now disappeared and you can only see the first few lines of text.
is there a way so that you can make external text automatically scroll all the way down to the bottom?

I want to make a dynamic textarea with loaded text from an external textfile, and then I want custom made arrow buttons to start scrolling the loaded text on mouseover (not click) andt stop scrolling on mouseout. Ala like in this webpage[url]...
The part with the loaded text is fine, but I can't manage to script the arrow buttons to do what I've just described. Even though I have searched the Internet for recipes I just find how to scroll loaded text on click or with a scrollbar
Structure: There is 1 main file that loads external SWF files depending on what is clicked on.One of the external SWF files loads its text from external text files. This works fine when viewing the SWF applet on its own. But when viewing as a whole site, the text doesnt appear. Very annoying.I made that particular SWF on my mums computer running Flash MX 2004The flash file itself uses the Scrollbar component from MX.Could someone tell me why the text doesnt load in this scenario? It runs fine on its own, just not as an external SWF.
View 4 RepliesI am loading a different external SWF into each one using Load External SWF behavior.Although each SWF is a different file, they are exact copies of each other (have exact same functionality); all 3 are text boxes with both scrollbar scrolling and mousewheel scrolling.Problem is, when on the stage at the same time, they all three respond to mousewheel scroll at the same time. I need them each to respond to users' mousewheel scroll only if the mouse is over the respective area (so that way they don't all scroll at the same time).The file was developed for me and the developer is not available at this time.

I cant load and external text file into my dynamic text box...when i trace the loaded var it can be found, but when it's loaded inside the text box, the value that appears is really strange.i tried to load the vars into the MC and on a level, the result is the same, it can be traced but does not appear correctly on the textbox..the code i used is here..i made a text box with about_us instance name, loaded the variables and tried to load my text inside it by setting the text property of the textbox but as u will see...
loadVariables("about.txt", "this");
about_us.text = about;

space = 5;[code].....

I've gotten to chapter 5 in my AS 3.0 classroom book but I need to use wisdom today (CHAPTERS before I gain it for myself),I need to create a custom scroll bar with buttons that function just like the UIScrollBar but more visually suited to our projects. the boss demands it.
I found several tutorials on creating the custom scrollBar, however, they don't include the buttons and I'm unable to find a tutorial on how to create a button scroller (I figured I could link them both to my "info_txt" after creating them separately).
how to create an AS3 text scrollBar WITH buttons? how to create a nice scroll effect with buttons(if creating the scroll bar and buttons apart then linking them to the same text field is not possible or a faulty way to accomplish this).
been wondering if it's possible to load external text(for example a text from notepad) to my "text area" in flash.?
