Loading external txt

how do i load an external text and then with a preloader

You want a preloader on external text? - little lost

Nice footer though, is the block part that changes the black to white a mask?

nope i just put it on top

can i put a preload when loading an external text

Oh, okay.
So, did you get your text loaded?

no idea how

how much external text are you loading in - because normally you wouldn’t need a preloader - you would never see the preloader.

As for just loading the text in, did you see the tutorial?

I don’t know if it would work, but I know for jpegs and ext swf files, you just use the object and code from there like:


bytesLoaded=loadText.getBytesLoaded();
bytesTotal=loadText.getBytesTotal();
//etc..etc..

Hope that helps
