I worked on that tutorial by kirupa found here … [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/dynamic\_scroller.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/dynamic_scroller.htm)
and it works fine and all, but my question is, how do I get html to work properly with the txt file. I have the \<\> enabled for the dynamic text box, but it just seems to ignore it. I greatly appreciate your help.

I found this tutorial… [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/links\_dynamictextbox.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/links_dynamictextbox.htm)
but again… my \<\> won’t allow me to put (bold tags… ect…) on my dynamic text. So if I put a bold tag in the txt file, it won’t render it that way when viewed.

check how your text file is encoded. I remember having trouble with this, but can’t remember which encoding it is meant to be.

Well… after some research… I finally fixed it. The solution to the code just needed a few additions… (in red)
loadVarsText = new loadVars();
loadVarsText.load(“news.txt”);
// creating the loadVarsText function
loadVarsText.onLoad = function() {
[color=red] [color=black]scroller.text = this.newstext;
[/color] scroller.html = true;
[/color] [color=red]scroller.htmlText = this.newstext;[/color]
};
It seems to work fine now. So if anyone else has the same problem… this should fix it. I found the article from Macromedia which can be found here:
[http://www.macromedia.com/support/flash/ts/documents/dynamic\_text\_scrollmx.htm](http://www.macromedia.com/support/flash/ts/documents/dynamic_text_scrollmx.htm)
But for the most part, I used the tutorial by Kirupa on Scrolling Dynamically Loaded text and that worked fine until I ran into that one issue.
