Hi,

Does anyone know of a tutorial that will show me how to setup a dynamic scrollable text box that i can use to post URLS from an external txt file.

I know their are tutorials on this site that cover loading data from txt files but i want to be able to be able to load urls and descriptions into a dynamic txt box.

I would like to have a kind of “daily links” text box on my flash homepage that i can update without editing the actual SWF.

Any ideas?

Cheers
