i am trying to load a text file that has html and to let it appear in a dynamic text box in flash. because of the length of the content, i looked around for a scroll bar. this scroll bar that i found actually uses a mask to work. however, i suspect that it is this mask that doesnt allow the code to work. no text can be shown in the textbox when its properties is set to dynamic. it does show in static text box but static doesnt allow coding. when set to dynamic, i have to embed the text inorder for the text to show. this isnt needed usually and now it needs. now, i have a black button. this button is to change the dynamic textbox in my flash to what it should be in the text file and render as html. i tried many many ways but its not working. everytime when i load html into the textbox, it will appear to be empty. normal ordinary text will show but not text embraced with html tags.
the other thing about this whole thing is that the first movie, which i named contentmain as its instance name, does not recognise its name as contentmain but instance9. i tried to debug it and thats what i notice if i am not wrong.
i have uploaded a zip file of the files having problem as an example.
can some experts overhere please help me to get it work?
thanks a million…
