Ready to Reload?

programming flash

I have a set of buttons on the site that have the text for a text box they refer to in them. At the moment when I scroll down the text box to the end of the text - it stays down when I hit another button. In other words, the text changes but it stays in the same position - at the bottom. Clearly, I want to show the text from the top each time. So what do I need to do?

The actionscript is in the button so I guess I’m going to have to get the text box to reload from there, actually, come to think of it, I have no idea how to do this at all, I don’t even know if it’s a reload issue - er - help.

What I usually do is empty out the text box first.

so before you load your new text have something like…

_root.myTextBox = " "

This will create an empty space, and then that space will be replaced by your loaded text, which makes it start from the top.

A hack really, but works real well.

Thanks Lost’.

I take it I’m to put that at the top of the button text exactly as you have it written there?

Yeah, that way it loads that first, and then loads your text.
