hi, im working on my band’s website [www.powerkidadventures.cjb.net](http://www.powerkidadventures.cjb.net), and i was wondering if anyone could help me display either a.txt file to the right of my menu (check out the site to see what i talking about), or just make a neat little window that is displayed (not a pop-up) that will stay after you click a menu item and change when you click another menu item. thanks alot for any input regarding this πŸ™‚ ---

I got a 404 when I went to your page, so am not sure exactly what you are asking. But the request seems small enough. I would be glad to help or do it for you if its not a huge amount of work, or to help you understand enough to do it yourself. Send me the Fla file along with EXACTLY it is you are desiring; ```auto [email]philjayhan@joltmail.net[/email] ``` Sincere Regards, pj ---
