Whenever I try to load text dynamically, I get this error: > **Warning** Scene=Scene 1, layer=text, frame=1:Line 1: Case-insensitive identifier ‘loadVars’ will obscure built-in object ‘LoadVars’. loadText = new loadVars(); Total ActionScript Errors: 1 Reported Errors: 1 It happened when I tried to make a dynamic text box, and then it also came up when I downloaded the source files for one of the tutorials here on kirupa. I’m not sure what’s up with it. ---

change the loadVars to LoadVars, thats what i did to get it working, something to do with Action Script v2.0, anyway, good luck ---

hmm, sorry that didn’t work, try placing formatting your text differently eg, news=Sept 28th 2004 - hartford civic center this might help, i’ve found that flash is quite picky about formating in txt documents hope that helps ---

You made a mistake in your file your code was ```php loadText = new LoadVars(); loadText.load("news.txt"); //creating the loadVarsText function loadText.onLoad = function() { scroller.text = this.news; }; ``` and your textfield has the instance name “news”, you have to change your textfield’s instance name to “scroller” if you want it to work. In this line of code ```auto scroller.text = this.news; ``` news is a variable referring to your text file, in your text file you’ll have something like news=blalbalbalblalalblabalbalbblablablabalblabla ---

You’re welcome, glad it’s working now. Btw, your preloader is a bit heavy, if you want something lighter and more accurate, take a look at this [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/percentagepreloader.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/percentagepreloader.htm) , just an advice 😉
