I have alittle problem, i am loading text from a text file, everything is right, ive used the same code before, but it will only load so much, like 200 characters or so, is there a limitation on how many characters you can load? ---

yes, because you are loading to a variable, it will only hold so much. I am looking into a way to load more that involves displaying a html file as opposed to loading a txt file. ---
