Ok, I made a dynamic text box, named the instance ‘myText\_txt’ and made the text box multiline. Then here is the script:

```auto
 
myData = new LoadVars();
myData.onLoad = function(){
	 myText_txt.text = this.content;
};
myData.load("text.txt");

```

The .txt file is called text.

I test play it, and it gives me no error. But nothing shows. The text box is set so that you can see the text… BG is white and text color is black…

I’m about ready to bash my head into the keyboard.
