okay…
here goes 🙂
first of all, thx for the help i´ve got so far 🙂 u r great guys.
now the the point:
i have a main MC and several external swf´s beeing loaded onto my main MC at press of certain buttons… all that stuff.
but now comes the fact, that the dynamic text files at some of the swf´s is going to be updated sometimes. and as its irritatin doing it all by hand, i want to make the txt external too, i´ve done it before, but that was on main stage, i am going to embed the font outline thingy, right?
but how do i do that in an external txt file?
is there an html code for it? 🙂

an html code to embed the font ? is it that ? if you want to embed your font (it’s the same for external text), just select character --\> embed in the property panel of your dynamic text.
I don’t know if i reply to your question

hmm… well i understand what you mean, but thats if you wrote the text in flash, want i want is , that it loads the txt from an external txt file and into the dynamic text field, but still imbedded so i can see it throug the mask…

he he its danish 😛
btw, i have another prob
i want the text to load as soon as the swf is loaded… not with a button click, what script do i use?
```auto
onClipEvent (enterFrame){Function; {
loadText = new loadVars();
loadText.load("text1.txt");
loadText.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
// trace(success);
newsBox.html = true;
newsBox.htmlText = this.myNews;
}
};
}
loadText = new loadVars();
loadText.load("text2.txt");
loadText.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
// trace(success);
newsBox1.html = true;
newsBox1.htmlText = this.myNews;
}
};
}
```
but that does not work?

Nice graphics you have there, is it the scrollbar from claudio you’re using ?
edit: just saw your title what makes you confused the onClipEvent thing ?
