hello

thanks for the quick reply but my problem is that i don’t want to communicate with the file containing the text online but instead i am aiming to use flash to load the text fields on a CD application. That is why i am not approaching ASP, PHP or any language that needs a web server. So if you know a way to load FLASH text fields offline from ACCESS, EXCEL, NOTEPAD, WORD or any other format offline. PLEASE HELP

THANKS
