i have a scrollable dynamic text box and a text file is loaded in it when the movie starts…
i have a button and will load another text file in the same dynamic text box when clicked.
what i want to do which i can’t do is that i want the scrolling position of the dynamic text box to be in starting position when the new text file is loaded. how can i do that?
anyone?

i assume you’re using a loadvars object and an onLoad event handler… ?
then you could just add this line of code to the onLoad handler.
```auto
myTextField.scroll = 1;
```

myButton01.onRelease = function () {
loadVarsText1 = new loadVars();
loadVarsText1.load(“myTextFile.txt”);
loadVarsText1.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
myTextField.text = this.var1;
myTextField.scroll = 1;
}
};
