Hi all,

I can’t seem to get the external tex file loaded into a dynamic text field.  
I am trying to display an external text file into a dynamic text field using a next page button. The layout is this I have 80 frames. Frames 1-10 with a static text field with text & a next page button and Frames 11-20 with a dynamic text field with a previous button. I want to onRelease of the next page button in the first set of 10 frames to load the external text file into the dynamic text field of the next set of 10 frames. Also, being able to jump back and forth from next page to next.

Below I layed out all the contents in my test.fla file.

Hope this will give you an understanding of what I am trying to do.

I need to be able to click a next page button and loading an external text file into a dynamic text field, vice versa.

I have set the variable in the text file.

I used this code to try and load the text file into a dynamic text field, using actinscript. Which frame or frames do I need to include this script in? I know it has got to be multiple ones.

var styles = new TextField.StyleSheet();  
styles.load(“cssdocName.css”);

textfieldName.html = true;  
textfieldName.styleSheet = styles;

var lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();

lv.onData = function(content) {  
textfieldName.text = content;  
}

lv.load(“htmldocName.html”);

Thanks for your time!

called bottomline [displayed in Frames 1-80]
