Hi,

Wanna create a simple banner with scroll text down-up - pause - further up.

I also wanna use a ext. text file. Where each new line is being displayed.

right now i got the external .txt as

```auto

&delay=100
&text=text line1
text line2
text line3
&eof=true

```

edit replace &text by &bannerText

on frame 1 i got

```auto

eof = "false";
loadVariablesNum("bannerText.txt",0);

```

on frame 3 i got

```auto

if (eof == "true") {
	gotoAndPlay (4);
} else {
	gotoAndPlay (2);
}

```

In frame 6 i got a mc called “aniText\_mc” with the scrolling ani and the dynamic text called “text” within a mc called “aniTxt”.

I can see the text, but i need it to display the text line by line.

to do  
1 so with actionscript i need to redefine var text = per line txt  
2 use the delay var

Any tips or tutorials.
