Hello: Dave

Yes, I would like to attain information from a text file  
and load it into Flash so that it can be posted. However  
the text will not appear until a button is pressed. Could,  
you give me a procedure for this?

Sincerely,

Kevin

Hello: Dave

Go to this link and select the subject “artist” and  
look to your right, and you will see the type of  
text menu I want and the effects associated with  
it.

Sincerely,

Kevin

Hello: Dave

Could you change the type of file you generated for me.

I am using Flash 5 and the tool your are using must be  
Flash MX. Also you can incorporte in the movie how to  
load in the text dynamically.

Thank You,

Kevin Smith
