I’m trying to make a sort of frame that I can use to load in .txt for a site I’m making. I used the kirupa scroller and now I’m trying to get the .txt loading to work but it wont 😕

```auto
loadVariablesNum("mytext3.txt", 0);
loadVariablesNum("mytext.txt", 0);

```

and then:

> \_root.contentMain.content=I want to see this text.

> \_root.contentMain.topic=woho  
> mytext.txt loads without problem, altough mytext3.txt wont load for some reason. I’m clueless :S
