and I have external css that nicely formats my txt file and its readable in flash, for now I’d like use php to grab that file from a server and push it to a browser as html file. I am not sure if its possible but I read a little on fread function in [php.net](http://php.net) but its just beyond my understand. once I accomplish that I will be able to print my txt files in flash website.
thank you all
EDIT: I posted similar question in the AS1 and AS2 forums but I am thinking that this is the right place. so sorry for double posting
