i have this code that loads css formated text from a .txt file, the problem is that i get “undefined” msg when i upload it, i’m guessing this is because the text or css is not preloaded, so how do preload this, here’s my text:

// Create a new style sheet and LoadVars object  
var myVars:LoadVars = new LoadVars();  
var styles = new TextField.StyleSheet();  
// Location of CSS and text files to load  
var txt\_url = “./xml/welcome.txt”;  
var css\_url = “./css/styles.css”;  
// Load text to display and define onLoad handler  
myVars.load(txt\_url);  
myVars.onData = function(content) {  
storyText = content;  
};  
// Load CSS file and define onLoad handler:  
styles.load(css\_url);  
styles.onLoad = function(ok) {  
if (ok) {  
// If the style sheet loaded without error,  
// then assign it to the text object,  
// and assign the HTML text to the text field.  
styles\_txt.styleSheet = styles;  
styles\_txt.text = storyText;

}  
};
