Hi. i am doing a flash website, and i am trying to do a news page that loads the news from .txt files trough a xml file.

i am basing my code in this tutorial  
[http://www.republicofcode.com/tutori…lery/index.php](http://www.republicofcode.com/tutorials/flash/as3gridgallery/index.php)

i can load the images for the thumbs, and the big news, but i cant make the text appear. i get the error:

Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2124: Loaded file is an unknown type.

my code is:  
Code:  
stop();

function goHome(e:MouseEvent):void {  
gotoAndStop(“Home”);  
home\_btn.terraButton.emphasized = true;  
about\_btn.terraButton.emphasized = false;

contact\_btn.terraButton.emphasized = false;  
}  
home\_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goHome);  
home\_btn.buttonText.text = “home”;  
home\_btn.mouseChildren = true;  
home\_btn.buttonMode = true;

contact\_btn.terraButton.emphasized = false;  
this.removeChild(container\_mc);

}  
about\_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goAbout);  
about\_btn.buttonText.text = “apresentação”;

function goLinks(e:MouseEvent):void {

stop();  
and the xml is

```
 Code:
 &lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt;

```

\<NOTICIAS WIDTH=“240” HEIGHT=“125”\>  
\<NOTICIA FULL=“news/noticia\_1.jpg” THUMB=“thumb/noticia\_1.jpg” TEXTO=“texto/noticia\_1.txt” POSITIONX=“200” POSITIONY=“400” TITLE=“titulo/noticia\_1.txt” /\>

\</NOTICIAS\>  
the file structure is good, and the .txt are saved in ANSI encoding
