Hi people,

I want to load a .txt file in a dynamic textbox. I want it to load when I press a button in an other movie. I’ve loaded a menu in mc container, and now I want to load the text in a textbox with the instance name “ArchiveNews” in an other mc container on the same page. (Like a website) I’ve tried something like this:

[AS]  
on (release) {  
loadText = new loadVars();  
loadText.load(“Archive1.txt”);  
loadText.onLoad = function(success) {  
if (success) {  
// trace(success);  
ArchiveNews.html = true;  
ArchiveNews.htmlText = this.myNews;  
}  
};  
}  
[/AS]

Help!!! :nerd:
