Hi All!..

ok i got this custom scrollbar that was made through a tutorial, and it works fine, but i was wondering, instead of loading the text from a .txt file, is there anyway from loading it from a text tool(tool on flash8)…

there are 4 AS on my timeline…

first one says

loadVariables(“scrolltext.txt”, “”);

second one says

if (scrolltext ne “”) {  
gotoAndPlay(“end”);  
}

third one says

gotoAndPlay(“load”);

and the fourth one says

stop();

im just wondering if i can just directly load it from a textool box…Or just scroll the text that is in the textool box…

Thank you

Amy
