Hi all,  
I’m sure there is a tutorial somewhere out there covering this, i just can’t find it. I want to dynamically load content into a text box, and sure thats easy enough, but in the .txt file i want to load from, I want to not only be able to have the text, but control over the font and font size… is this possible?  
Also, if the text is too long, i want a scroll bar to appear, with certain colours on it, i.e. based around fx(00ff00) so all green, just different shades…

I hope this makes sense to people, cause reading it over it only just does to me.

Thanks all,  
ignusb

err, that really doesnt answer my question, that’s just how to dynamically load text, but I want to know how to do it with formatting in the .txt file.  
And also, I don’t always want the scrollbar there.

what do you mean formatting?

You can just forget about the scroll bar part, just leave it out.

I’m trying to apply font styles and sizes to text in a .txt file, but with the possibility of different fonts and sizes in each file…  
I have no idea how to do this, but just to give an idea, something like this:

fnt=arial; size=24; colour=ff0000 &title goes here&  
fnt=times new roman; size=16; colour=ababab &body copy in here&

I hope this has given you an idea of what I am looking for.
