Hi there!
I really hope someone can help me. I have lots of pages of text for this flash project Im working on & I have put all the text into one text file & am using variables to dynamically load the text into a text box on each external swf.
My problem is that I have decided to format the text using html, just put things in itallic & bold etc and it doesnt seem to work. After the 1st html tag, the text just dissapears. I have the format as html button pressed & have searched these forums & still cant find the answer. Please help!
My code on the 1st frame of the external swf is…
```auto
//loads text
loadText = new LoadVars();
loadText.load("axios.txt");
loadText.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
//trace(success);
box.html = true;
box.htmlText = this.corptext;
delete this.onEnterFrame;
}
};
```
And my text file looks like this…
```auto
&corptext=Axios Systems is a leading provider of consolidated IT Service Management software solutions.&
```
But any text between the html tags dissapears. What am I doing wrong?
Your help is much appreciated 🙂
