Could it be possible that I could have some assitance on this matter. I searched forums etc, but they didnt really have any basic information on how to edit these completely with actionscript. I am what is generally refered to as a n00b by elite computer people. Please assistance would be great.

So far, I am trying to take a minimalist approach to size of a “website” I am making. Basically it is a leap into actinscript and is proving very difficult to come to grips with.

```auto
this.createEmptyMovieClip(instanceName="container", 0);
container.createTextField(instanceName="blahblah", 0, 150, 20, 300, 200);

```

Is what I started with, and I am curios as to how to embed the fonts with actinscript, being there no physical textbox. Is that box even able to load external text :S.

How would i give it a variable name to allow me to load in external text?
