Scrolling Dynamic Text

hi - can anyone give me a tip here?

i’m attempting to apply kirupa’s “scrolling dynamic text” tutorial code into my on web design
http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/dynamic_scroller.htm

the code worked fine in kirupa’s downloadable .fla but when applying the code to my own .fla file - i cannot get it to load the data - let alone scroll in my own flash application…

the only code i changed is the name of the .txt file and the scroller variable (news)

when publishing the file i get the error message:
Warning Scene=Scene 1, layer=action, frame=18:Line 1: The identifier ‘loadVars’ will not resolve to built-in object ‘LoadVars’ at runtime.
loadText = new loadVars();

Total ActionScript Errors: 1 Reported Errors: 1

also - i have Flash mx 2004 professional version 7.0 - and there is no scrollbar in the components menu only a scrollpane - is this odd?

i am unable to attach the .fla file due to the size of the scrollbar attributes… e-mail me if you’d like to have me send the files to you

thanks in advance for your advice!
