Hi, everyone!

i got problem here…:-/  
I wanted to load text from external source - a .txt file like the tutorial on h[ttp://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/multiple\_dynamictext.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/multiple_dynamictext.htm)

my problem is… i can’t make the text to load. it can’t even be viewed! :puzzle:

I’m a newcomer for Flash. I thought this might be a simple lil’ project i can start with. but i’ve spent the whole afternoon yesterday + plus whole morning today, looking at diff. tutorials, searching answer via this forum – but i can’t find answers… i’ve asked ppl around, nobody knew what’s wrong… So, please please please help!!!

the .fla file can be viewed at:  
[http://www.bsu.edu/web/jvhiendarto/brown.zip](http://www.bsu.edu/web/jvhiendarto/brown.zip) (it’s 85kb)  
thanks a lot!!!
