This is probably rediculously easy for most of you, and annoying even for some, but what method do you use to load text in a textfile into a dynamic/input text field in flash? ie. creating a ‘news’ portion for a flash site that can be edited simply from a textfile that it refers to. Do you have to use XML for this, or is it more simple.
if someone knows of a thread that already explains this simply point me there, I’ve looked around already and can’t find anything this simple, thanks.
