## I’ve been doing this tutorial ([http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/dynamic\_scroller.htm[url=“http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/dynamic\_scroller.htm)%20using”])](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/dynamic_scroller.htm) using the same actionscript:

## loadText = new loadVars(); loadText.load(“kirupa.txt”); //creating the loadVarsText function loadText.onLoad = function() { scroller.text = this.kirupatext; };

but I’m using Flash MX 2004 Pro and when I test my movie it gives me the error of

**Warning** Scene=Scene 1, layer=Layer 1, frame=1:Line 1: The identifier ‘loadVars’ will not resolve to built-in object ‘LoadVars’ at runtime.  
loadText = new loadVars();  
Total ActionScript Errors: 1 Reported Errors: 1

loadText = new loadVars();  
loadText.load(“kirupa.txt”);  
//creating the loadVarsText function  
loadText.onLoad = function() {  
scroller.text = this.kirupatext;  
};

Basically i need to make a scrollable text box that load external txt file  
anyone can help pls?
