Hey guys, I’m looking for the best way to set up a text field that reads text files on the click of a button.

Right now i have all my buttons set up, and a Dynamix Text field on my layout. I’ve named the text field “textbox” (instance name) and I want to load my content from a text file into it when i click a button. What’s the best way to go about this?
