Hey there its me again! =P im having a problem with dynamic textboxes the problem is i cant rotate them with them displaying the right data. I am using the tutorial on [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/externaldata.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/externaldata.htm) but whenever i rotate the text to adjust it the data doesn’t seem to show I dunno if its important but i added a scrollbar component. I tried putting the textbox on a separate mc then adding it into the main scene and then rotating it but it still doesnt display anything. Can someone tell me how to rotate them and have them display the data? i post the fla so you can help me thanks

Use new LoadVars io new loadVars and embed the font with unchecking the B (bold) in the properties window;)

Ok the character solution seems a lot simpler but doesn’t that increase enourmously the size of my swf??? And the embedding and loadVar solution I didn’t get =P where do i do all that that you said? in the mc where i placed the textbox or in the main scene?? sorry but im kinda new hehe so i might sound really dumb but in fact i am =P thx anyway.

In your code you have “loadVars” change that in “LoadVars” (with a capital L)  
The embedding I mentioned is the same as amanuo suggested, it increases your filesize with 8 kB…

You have your second textbox scaled (196% vertical, 100% horizontal)  
Make them both 100% 😉
