Only a certain amount of my .txt file is showing up. I’m not really sure what’s going on.

Here is my code for my flash file:

myData = new LoadVars();  
myData.onLoad = function(){  
songlist.text = this.songlist;  
};  
myData.load(“songlist.txt”);  
stop();

Are you using masks, is your textfield not set to multiline?  
If not, maybe the autoSize property migh help

```auto

stop();
myData = new LoadVars();
myData.onLoad = function(){
   songlist.text = this.songlist;
   songlist.autoSize =true;
};
myData.load("songlist.txt");

```

Do you have an amperstand (&) somewhere in the text? These can only be used to start/end variables. Use %26 if you need an amperstand in the text.
