I’m trying to follow the following tutorials but need help getting dynamic text to work.

In Flash 8, I have a layer (“Stop”) with 2 buttons and a dynamic textbox with scrollbar, and a stop action on last frame of main timeline. Textbox is given instance name of “textBox”.
I have created 3 text .txt files, and saved them to same folder with movie file. Text in files is preceeded by “article =” on line preceeding text. The files were created in Rich text format on Mac OSX4.11 and saved with .rtf extension, then file extension was changed to .txt (wouldn’t save as .txt)
Last frame on which I’m working has the following actionscript:
stop();
loadText = new LoadVars();
loadText.load(“TEXTintro.txt”);
//creating the loadVarsText function
loadText.onLoad = function() {
textBox.text = this.article;
};
Buttons have an instance name assigned with the following actionscript:
on (release) {
loadText = new LoadVars();
loadText.load(“TEXT1.txt”);
loadText.onLoad = function() {
textBox.text = this.article;
};
I am getting the following errors:
Error Scene=MoonOfWintertime, layer=Stop, frame=2500:Line 1: Statement block must be terminated by ‘}’
on (release) {
Error Scene=MoonOfWintertime, layer=Stop, frame=2500:Line 6: Syntax error.
};
Error Scene=MoonOfWintertime, layer=Stop, frame=2500:Line 1: Statement block must be terminated by ‘}’
on (release) {
Error Scene=MoonOfWintertime, layer=Stop, frame=2500:Line 7: Syntax error.
Total ActionScript Errors: 4 Reported Errors: 4
