One question that often appeared in my mailbox or on the forums regarded creating a text scroller that worked when text was loaded from an external text file. I had told users that it was not possible to create that effect until a user (Ged) e-mailed me with a link to Macromedia's tech note (no: 16142). In his link, I found out how to create the text scroller and make it work easily. So, here is the tutorial to help you out!
