Loading multiple dynamic texts boxs in one section

Well, I have a client who wants to be able to update every page on their website. The thing is, I cant get these dynamix boxes to load.

If you notice on the main page that loades, I need to have one text document contain all three content areas. Also, do I have to place the actionscript somewhere special if I want it to load during the movie. What I mean is that, I want the dynamic text to load while the boxes turn white. This way it doesnt have to come in oddly. However, this is a loaded external swf, that plays for 5 seconds. Can I put the actionscript at the beginning of the swf being loaded? In the frame where I want to to come in? In the main master swf? I’m really confused.

I believe you can. I’m new to this too, but I’ve done something similar loading dynamic text.
put this in the first frame swf that you’re loading and change it to fit the instance name of your text box.

stop();

var format = new TextField.StyleSheet();
var path = “…/main.css”;
format.load(path);
format.onLoad = function(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
yourdynamictextboxname.styleSheet = format;
loadText = new LoadVars()
loadText.load("/yourfolder/yourtext.txt");
loadText.onLoad = function() {
yourdynamictextboxname.htmlText = this.content;
};
} else {
yourdynamictextboxname.htmlText = “Error loading CSS file!”;
}
};

then make a text file and put it into the directory you want, then input the correct path to that file. next in that text doc, put content= (then type your content). If you want more than one dynamic box to load with just one text file I’d think you could have something like this: content1= (whatever) content2=(yep, some more stuff.), etc… then just put that code up on top in and change the this.content to “this.content1”, “this.content2” etc…

(make sure you have .htmlText, and not just Text. ) it will make those <br>'s on your “news” window load correctly.

I hope this helps and doesn’t just confuse you more. I’m new at this too and trying to learn and help with whatever I can.

yeah, that’s pretty much what I’m trying to do as well. if you put the dynamic text box into a nexted movie you should be able to have the movie fade in and then just have the dynamic text within the fading movie load right away. It should fade as well. but you have to put the script on the action layer within the same frame number as your text box.
