OK. I’m trying to make a dynamically scrolling text box. I put in the dynamic text box, set it to multiline. Then, I get my scrollbar component and drag it onto the dynamic text box; it locks in.

OK now it gets weird. I type in the actionscript from the [macromedia.com](http://macromedia.com) tutorial (it’s very similar to the kirupa tutorial script, but even when I use the kirupa script it screws up):

loadVarsText = new loadVars();  
loadVarsText.load(“test.txt”);  
//assign a function which fires when the data is loaded:  
loadVarsText.onLoad = function(success) {  
if (success) {  
trace(“done loading”);  
//Now that we know the data is loaded,  
//set the text content of the Text Field  
//with the instance name “scroller” equal to the  
//contents of the variable  
scroller.text = this.var1;  
} else {  
trace(“not loaded”);  
}  
};

This is supposed to have the text box display the text in text.txt, and I assigned the contents of the variable “var1” (the first line in the txt file is “var1=”)

Then I publish it, and I get THIS problem:

**Warning** Scene=Scene 1, layer=text, frame=1:Line 1: The identifier ‘loadVars’ will not resolve to built-in object ‘LoadVars’ at runtime.  
loadVarsText = new loadVars();  
Total ActionScript Errors: 1 Reported Errors: 1

The published swf is in the same folder as test.txt! The macromedia tutorial source file has the exact code and stuff, AND IT WORKS when published! I don’t know what’s going on. Someone help.
