Having Trouble Loading Text from external source, but with a twist

Hey,
Im brand new to this forum and flash in general so be gentle C:-)

Basically I have used the kirupa tutorials for scrolling text as seen on a site like
www.wordsfromreuben.com

and now im trying to use this in conjunction with loading external text from a .txt file. I’ve tried just putting the actionscript from the external text tutorial into the scrolling text file i have done, but it doesnt seem to work or load the external text file.

Can anyone help, it would be really appreciated!
Thanks a lot
Ben
