You can see what it shows here. No both no color, and no BR. Just displays the text the way its spaced in the txt file.

```auto
loadText = new LoadVars();
loadText.load("your_txt.txt");
loadText.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
// trace(success);
textBox.html = true;
textBox.htmlText = this.myNews;
}
};
```

In your dynamic text box properties, do you have ‘render text as html’ selected? I use similar code to yours and it always works fine. Hope you get it sorted.
Nice site btw 🙂
