Hello forum,

I’m new here. (I’m an artist and designer from the Northwest)

I have rather lengthly txt file (containing HTML) that loads into a nice long (dynamic) text box that I’ve AS coded to scroll under a mask. Everything mentioned so far works perfectly, but once I scroll down, the “rest” of the txt file doesn’t show up and seems to be cut off at the visual “first fold”.

[COLOR=“purple”]I need some troubleshooting tips please. Is there a default max characters somewhere I need to turn on/off for this txt file? Is there coding I can simply add to resolve it?[/COLOR]

I have build this by first enabling the \<\> HTML box and then allowing the the file “info.txt” to load, by clicking a button using containing this code:

loadText = new LoadVars();  
loadText.load(“info.txt”);  
loadText.onLoad = function(success)  
text.content.desc\_txt.html = true;  
text.content.desc\_txt.htmlText = this.myNews;

Any ideas would be appreciated!

Thanks, kiki
