i have a very long text with lots of spaces … what would i have to code to make a textfield appear with a scrollbar attached to it - with lots of text in it? next to it would be another button which would make another text field appear in the same place.

i can do it with an external file and us the load.text variable, but the problem i have is with the formatting - the text almost always looks out of proportion ☹ any tips?

same goes for instance - a thumbnail pic, that i want to enlarge when i click on it - what do i need to do?

this is really bad, i try hard but just cant get the stuff workin. any help would be greatly appreciated!

thanks, dredd
