Format and Load Text into Dynamic Text Box?

Kirupa rocks.

What is the simplest most fool-proof way of pre-formatting text (even outside of Flash) then having it load into a Flash dynamic text box so that it LOOKS THE SAME? Whoever is kind enough to answer this, please be sickeningly descriptive. I can’t get anything to work from tutorials. In fact, I can’t even get a basic text file to load into a Flash text box! The text needs to maintain the hyperlinks assigned to various words.

You’re right… good tutorial. However, I want the text to load automatically when the dynamic text field enters that frame, not when a user presses a “Load Text” button. Do I put AS in the frame itself, and if so, what would it be? Much appreciation!
