I have read [this tutorial](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/externaldata.htm). It’s very good and usefull, but I have a problem.

So, I create a dynamic text box. Then I write a text in external .txt file. But if the text is longer than a dynamic field I can’t see it.

Shortly. In dynamic field I can’t see a longer text. What can I do?

PS: Sorry for my bad English. ☹

Make the dynamic text field scrollable, and add a scroller…
