I read the tutorial on how to get a CSS imported into Flash MX 2004… but rather than loading a few sentences, I’d like to apply the stylesheet to a dynamic text box so that whatever is loaded in it will recieve the styles. Also, what is the best way to import a document with html text into a dynamic text box? Thanks in advance :puzzle:

loadVars(“html.txt”)  
onLoad, textfield.htmlText=loadVars.content…  
Gives you a rough idea…  
and the css style is applied to a textfield, not text, so  
-load text content  
-if load ok,  
-load stylesheet  
-apply to txtfield after setting loaded txt as content  
(I’m in the process of writing a tutorial, but not done yet…)

:\*( I’m very new to flash mx and know virtually nothing of actionscript, so I didn’t understand much of what you just said lol… could you put it in more noobish terms? like… write out the code? I’d be very much obliged.
