Hi,  
I completed the tutorial to apply CSS to externally loaded txt file. It works fine if the movie is loaded at \_level0 but not at \_level1 which is what I need. Any ideas? here is the code.

var format = new TextField.StyleSheet();  
var path = “[http://www.theconstellationgroup.com/styles.css](http://www.theconstellationgroup.com/styles.css)”;  
format.load(path);  
format.onLoad = function(loaded) {  
if (loaded) {  
output.styleSheet = format; //“output” is text field instance name  
myLoadVar = new LoadVars();  
myLoadVar.load(“the\_experience.txt”);  
myLoadVar.onLoad = function (success){  
if (success == true) {  
output.variable = “myText” //this is variable created for “output” text field  
output.htmlText=myLoadVar.myText;  
}  
}  
} else {  
output.text = “Error loading CSS file!”;  
}  
};
