Hi,

I’m sort of new to flash and have a HUGE question to which I’m hoping to find a clear answer.

I want to know what the best way is to dynamically load text from an external file into a flash movie. I am using Flash MX 2004. The text will contain basic HTML tags, such as font, bold, and italics. It will also contain img tags, as I want to include jpgs throught the text.

I’ve been thru the creation of dynamic text boxes, which load the text file… using the scrollpane component… plus a multitude of other ways, but none have given me the outcome that I want.

Can someone please tell me the best way to do this? It seems like it’s such a complicated feat for something that, functionality wise, alot of people would want to do.
