How to rotate a dynamic text box with external text

Hi, I went to a tutorial at Kirupa that featured how to update your text from outside Flash, by using a regular text file, and a dynamic text box. The actionscript code allows the dynamic text box to display anything from the text file. The code is:

**loadText = new LoadVars();
loadText.load(“data.txt”);
loadText.onLoad = function() {
lineb.text = this.lineb;

};**

The dynamic text box has a Var: titled **lineb **and the instance name is called **lineb **as well.

In the text file, I have:

lineb=Whatever I wrote.

I wanted to see if I could experiment with the dynamic text box by rotating it so that the text could be flush with the diagonal side of a triangle. When I rotated the dynamic text box, the text dissappeared! Does anyone know how to solve this problem? Also, no actions were applied directly to the dynamic text file itself.

Thanks
