Hi All

I am very new to AS3 and I am struggling to get multiple messages into flash from an external .txt file.

I have managed to get 1 single message in just about, but then the client wanted multiple messages…aaghhhh.

They are displayed on a single line and scroll in from the left, flash then move off to the right, I then need other messages to appear in a similar fashion.

HELP!
