Hi!
Just wanted to know if it’s possible to put a preloader on textfield/movieclip reading text from a textfile…
I guess it’s not the same as preloading a regular movieclip, text being dynamic and all…
Don’t have time to go into details, but things like
onClipEvent(data)
which waits till data is loaded
LoadVars.getBytesLoaded()
there are various ways to test if you have all the data you need before displaying it. Hopefully someone will come and help more 
hey thanks koorb!
At least it’s a start…but I’m still in need of a bit more help if anyone can perhaps go deeper than koorb in explaining…
hey, sorry I was at work earlier so I couldn’t spend long
look here http://www.actionscripts.org/tutorials/beginner/loadVariables_and_loadVars/index3.shtml
basicly the
myLoadbleData.onLoad = function (success) { ... if ... else ... }
part allows you to add the code that will populate a text box with the text of a variable from a file in the “if” (and report an error in the “else”) I hope that helps some more, sorry I’m rushed of my feet much at the moment!
