ok. i would like to load a .txt file into a dynamic text box on which i have on the stage. when i did it i went from the C drive, but does it have to be in the library? i honestly have no clue as to what i am doing. unless, should i upload the .txt to my server and use a http:// for the URL? then for target is that the instanse or Variable name for my dynam. text box? and what does the method mean? plz help, i am not very good with ActionScript but i like it and and trying to learn, this will answer some of my most complicated questions.

Thanks in advance,

Mike
