I got a problem with dynamic loaded text. **Now hang on before you jump, I know the coding, just that the result is my problem.**

Using regular font styles are fine such as Arial, Verdana and so forth but I tried using unicode font outlines inside an external text file for future use. This is what I have in the external text file:

```auto

bobs=&#261;÷äääääääääääääääääääääää

```

Ive also set the file to unicode and set “render as html” in flash. [color=black]\*\*My problem is when I load the textfile and the swf on my host, the text doesnt appear. It does appear but what happens is that the text appears for 1 second and disappears. If you refresh the page, it does the same routine. Check for me: \*\*[/color][[color=black] **http://www.minimalistik.f2p.net/1.htm** [/color]](http://www.minimalistik.f2p.net/1.htm)

This is the coding in the first frame of the main timeline:

```auto

loadText = new loadVars();
loadText.load("[http://www.minimalistik.f2p.net/bobs.txt](http://www.minimalistik.f2p.net/bobs.txt)");
loadText.onLoad = function() {
scroller.text = this.bobs;
scroller.html = true;
scroller.htmlText = this.bobs;
};
stop();

```

What seems to be the problem?

Im also not 100% sure of embedding text from an external text file. Is it like this:

1. Write the same text that is in the external text file into the dynamic textfield
2. Select character from text properties window
3. Select “All Characters”
4. Press Enter
5. Delete text. (unsure here)
