HI,

I would like to create a text field which can Loading Text value from External Sources (Text File). And i would like to do a looping to update my text field’s data when the data inside database is change.

For example:

Initially Data inside my database is 99. So text field will display a 99.  
After that i change the value inside database to 88. Then how am i to write the action script?

Thanks for your help.
