Hi. I’m trying to write an actionscript that will load additional lines within a dynamic text block (i.e. new text that loads below text that already sits within the text block). Here is where I am so far (a script from a kirupa tutorial):

::::::::::

on (release) {  
loadText = new loadVars();  
loadText.load(“sp\_001.txt”);  
loadText.onLoad = function(doit) {  
if (doit) {  
textBox.html = true;  
textBox.htmlText = this.spText add existing;  
}  
};  
}

:::::::::::::::

Logically, I know what to do but am lacking the skills to script it. It seems I need to define how long I want the list and then if/else. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
