Autoscroll imported txt file

1

Hi guys.

Hope you can help me out some here.
Im kind of new to flash.

Ok here is what i want to do.

I have imported a rather large text file in to a text box and i cant see all data in it.

i use the command “loadVariables(“text.txt”,”_root");"

when i run movie i can only see the text that fits in the text box so what i want to do
is a function that autoscroll the text in the text.txt file in the textbox so i can read all the content in the text.txt file.

what i have understand so far is that the way to do it is.

  1. Create the text.txt
  2. Open flash
  3. In first frame take “action” print in code “loadVariables(“text.txt”,”_root");"
  4. Go to second frame make a “insert blank keyframe” and take “action” insert code stop()
  5. make the textbox
  6. insert the variable “text” in the texbox properties "since my text.txt first line is “&text=”
  7. Make it to dynamic text
  8. Run movie

so far so good. i can see the text in them movie now but only so mutch text as the text box size.

so what i want to do now is the text to scroll up and make all the text in the text file scroll up.

i applied the code

var myInterval = setInterval(scrollUp,50);

function scrollUp(){
text_MC._y -= 5;
// text_MC is the name of the text box
}

and the text was scrolling up but still only so mutch text that fitted in the textbox from the first place. not all the text in the text.txt file.

I have been looking around for hours on the net and forums for a good code or tutorial but its hard to find.

I hope someone is able to help.

Cheers
