[AS2] Split loaded text into pages

Hi,

I am trying to load long pieces of text from xml into flash. Then somehow splitting the text into blocks of say 50 characters. So if the text I was loading had 175 characters in it, the textField would show the first 50 chars, with a counter “page 1/4”. Using foward and back buttons would load next/previous set of 50 characters.

Hope that made sense

Did a search arround for an example but with no joy. If someone could point me in the right direction that would be great!

Thanks
