Please help me… I’m dying… I’ve spent 6hours on this littel problem!!! I though it would be easy… Butt noooo… :hangover:

My problem is getting the external txt file loaded into the textarea component. Thats it… So why can’t I get it right. I’m hoping someone can give me the code for the frame, and discribe what I have to do with that pain in the a\*\* component.

I’ve also made a “typewrighter” script for the txt texst, will that be able to run on a component? Does anyone have a textarea “typewrighter” script, or can tell me how to do it.

Thx

Thomas
