Hey, I know this is a tutorial on this site but I’m having trouble finding it, and its been a while so I can’t remember exactly how to do it. I just need to make a dynamic text field that you can edit via text file. Could anyone point me to that tutorial? ---

in the text box properties turn “render as html on.” but this has very limited functionality, don’t try to put iframes in there and such :D. ---

then what I said should work fine. There is also CSS functionality with MX 2004, but I have not had any experience with it. ---

well, if you are loading the text file correctly everything should work out fine. Check out this file, make sure you have the dynamic text field set up the same way I do. ---
