Having problem w/dynamic scroller text

1

hi everyone,

i followed the tutorial on loading dynamic scroller text (http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/dynamic_scroller.asp), but my text is not displayed in the flash movie. can someone take a look at the source file for me and help me here?

the section where i have dynamic scroller text is “MY DIARY”.
here are all the files in the folder:

I downloaded your .txt and .fla file. When I opened your text file I saw strange text in the beginning…

{\rtf1\mac\ansicpg10000\cocoartf102
{\fonttbl\f0\fswiss\fcharset77 Helvetica;}
{\colortbl;\red255\green255\blue255;}
\margl1440\margr1440\vieww9000\viewh9000\viewkind0
\pard x720 x1440 x2160 x2880 x3600 x4320 x5040 x5760 x6480 x7200 x7920 x8640\ql\qnatural

\f0\fs24 \cf0

I removed all that and everything worked great (except your \ lines, which I am assuming were supposed to be
for new line, but the downloaded file just converted it as \

hm… that’s very strange.
well, i am on a mac platform so i used “TextEdit” for the text file. how odd that all these weird lines were added in the beginning of the text? i’m going to try and use Word.

thanks :slight_smile:
