I have looked all over this site and followed one of the tutorials on this site to try and accomplish this. But nothing is working right. I want to load text from an external file, (either .txt or .htm) into a dynamic text box with a scrollbar. I have created the textbox with the scroll bar, but the text comes into the file, but doesn’t stay inside the text box, and the scrollbar doesn’t work. i don’t know why my code is as follows.

//Start Text Loader  
FAQContent\_txt.multiline = true;  
FAQContent\_txt.wordWrap = true;  
FAQContent\_txt.autoSize = “center”;//or “left”, or “right”, or true  
FAQContent = new LoadVars();  
FAQContent.onLoad = function () {  
FAQContent\_txt.text = this.content;  
};  
FAQContent.load(“FAQ.txt”);

//End Text Loader

The out put looks like this:
