This is the actionscript I have to load the text.

```auto
[SIZE=1] boxText = "";
stop();
d = new LoadVars();
d.onLoad = showText;
function showText() {
    for (i=0; i<2; i++) {
        _root.boxText += "<font color='#000000' size='14px'><b>"+this["date"+i]+"</b></font><br>";
        _root.boxText += "<font color='#000000' size='14px'>"+this["title"+i]+"</font><br>";
        _root.boxText += "<font color='#990000' size='10px'>"+this["info"+i]+"</font><br><br>";
    }
}
d.load("getEvents.php");[/SIZE]

```

This was fine when all the text would fit into the text box but now there is too much info and I wan the text box to be scrollable. I inserted the scrollbar component… The scrollbar shows up in the preview but not when I upload the file and the flash file loads the text. What am I mising?

Help please.

Many thanks.
