i cant get this tutorial to work:  
[http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/dynamic\_scroller.asp](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/dynamic_scroller.asp)  
i made the dynamic text box and called it scroller and have a text file in the same dir called text.txt. and i put this code on the first line:  
loadText = new loadVars();  
loadText.load(“text.txt”);  
//creating the loadVarsText function  
loadText.onLoad = function() {  
scroller.text = this.text;  
};

any help would be great!
