need some HEEELP!

Here is what i’m trying to do:  
Load a txt file in a txtarea component so it can be scrolled…

I searched every tutorial or whatever site there is (i think…), but i cant seem to find anything…?!

I found the tut “Scrolling Dynamically Loaded Text”, but thats with the scrollbar component that has been taken from flash 2004…

here is where he trips: The identifier ‘loadVars’ will not resolve to built-in object ‘LoadVars’ at runtime.  
loadText = new loadVars();

i cant find an alternative…

hope somebody can help thx! xx
