Hello folks,

It is really strange but I simply can’t find a good basic scroller tutorial/fla that works with external text data. Enclosed with this message I have a really great and basic scroller. However, when I load external date in it from a .txt file it isn’t scrollable anymore. Could someone here find out why? I would be really gratefull.
