Hey guys, When I publish a file that uses an external .txt file all I get is a blank box next to a scroll bar.

this is the text I want to use:  
news=  
TestTest  
\<a href=“[www.google.com](http://www.google.com)”\>Google\</a\>

and I’ve added a link to my .fla

I’m a complete noob at this, any help would be appreciated.
