This is really a simple thing and I thought I knew how to do it. I have flash file with a dynamic text field in it with a var name myContent. And I have a text.txt file. How do I get the information (it’s just a paragraph of stuff - no variables or any other data, just plain text) in the txt file to appear in the dynamic text field when I run the movie?
