[FONT=Arial]Hello folks,[/FONT]  
[FONT=Arial][/FONT]  
[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]I am attempting to write an external AS file that will handle the code for loading external html formatted text files as well as a CSS file. I have been successful only so far as getting the text files to load (the loadData function).[/SIZE][/FONT]  
[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][/SIZE][/FONT]  
[FONT=Arial][SIZE=2]However I have not been able to get the loadCSS function to work in the external AS file; instead I have to define and call the loadCSS function within each movieclip that loads a text file and I would just like to be able to define that function once in the AS file.[/SIZE][/FONT]  
[FONT=Arial][/FONT]  
[FONT=Arial]Here is a link to the AS file: [http://treehousepc.com/flash/textHandler.as](http://treehousepc.com/flash/textHandler.as)[/FONT]  
[FONT=Arial][/FONT]  
[FONT=Arial]Any thoughts or suggestions?[/FONT]  
[FONT=Arial]Many Thanks,[/FONT]
