Hi everyone,  
just a query about a text file i am loading into a scrolling dynamic box. It’s a fairly long list of subcommittees i need to include in the site for an assignment. Everything works but it only displays about the first 40 lines of the .txt file.  
My actionscript is-

loadText = new loadVars();  
loadText.load(“grouplist.txt”);  
//creating the loadVarsText function  
loadText.onLoad = function() {  
scroller.text = this.grouplist;  
};  
stop();

Would appreciate any pointers or advice.  
Thanks(-:
