I was doing this tutorial  
[http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/multiple\_dynamictext.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/multiple_dynamictext.htm)

and i swear i did every thing how it said, and when i click on the button the text doesnt load

here is the AS for the first button

on (release) {  
loadText = new loadVars();  
loadText.load(“TEXT1.txt”);  
loadText.onLoad = function(success) {  
if (success) {  
// trace(success);  
newsBox.html = true;  
newsBox.htmlText = this.myNews;  
}  
};  
}

and yes i already made my text1.txt document and its in the same folder as the flash files…

Please, use better titles for your threads.

And have you given an instance name of _newsBox_ to your textfield?

Your textfile should have the name _TEXT1.txt_and it should look like this:

```auto
myNews=bla bla bla bla bla

```
