Animated text field. Help needed!

Animated text from an external text file.

I have tried to combine two tutorials here, one that loads an external text file into a dynamic textfield:

And another that animates a string of characters:
http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/ascript_text_animation.htm

So far I not got it to work, I’ve checked most things here a million times such as misspelling of instance names and correct target paths. I’m still a bit stuck at what to try next.
please could someone check my script to see if i’m making an obvious error.

I’m also wondering if there is a tidier way to produce this effect, if so I would be greatful if you could point me in the right direction.
