Hey everyone, I have definately hit a wall in my programming, and I am sure that there is a simple solution out there, but right now, I am just not seeing it. I have a .txt file filed with arrays. I made a combobox contolled movie clip to display what is in my txt file. I can get .swf and .jpg to load just fine (hey that’s an accomplishment for me) but I was wondering how I could modify this to display some lengthy text…you know, commas, punctuation, spaces, and all. Just so you know, I am running on a mac and I am still learning the language.
