Hi there, I am trying to emulate the [http://www.fastpay.com/common/images/text1a.gif](http://www.fastpay.com/common/images/text1a.gif)

except with an external txt file for the animation to read from. … is this possible to do with flash, i have read a cuple of tutes, but haven’t been able to get it working…

Here is what i have so far, I created a dynamic text box and can read in the text using

loadText = new loadVars();  
loadText.load(“hello1.txt”);  
loadText.onLoad = function() {  
Txt.text = this.Txt;

};

Txt being the name of the instance of my text box…

but see when i try to make this into a symbol or clip, and animate it, i dont see the text anymore ☹

can anybody help? plz ?

Thanks a lot in advance for anybody who can help…
