Still no joy. Many other emotions by 3.30 am last night. The horror. :alien2:

Well I can scroll. I can css. But I still can’t do both at once, particularly when the text is loaded through an external actionscript (.as) file. But even if I could get a simple scroller to apply css I think I could figure it out.

[This](http://www.magma.ie/client/flashprospectus/dynamic_scroller_css.fla.zip) from Kirupa is a nicely functioning scroller (script in the first frame)

[This](http://www.magma.ie/client/flashprospectus/FlashCSS-externaltext.fla.zip) also from Kirupa is a tidy way to apply css to your external file (script again in first frame)

[This](http://www.magma.ie/client/flashprospectus/externalcss2.txt) is the external text file. All mac (does it matter these days?)

Thanks for the input guys
