Hi guys,

I am following a tutorial from [lynda.com](http://lynda.com), it is great. I have only one problem. I just cannot include a css file when I use the following code:

var cssStyles:TextField.StyleSheet = new TextField.StyleSheet();  
cssStyles.load(“css.css”);  
cssStyles.onLoad = function(success){  
if(success){  
loadedinfo.styleSheet = cssStyles;  
\_level0.myLV.load(“ourHistory.txt”);  
}  
};

It seems everything is going well, but non of the specified css statements are applied to the text. So when I run my swf file it does output the text, but not with the defined css output. I am not getting any errors when I run this code and it seems that the above if statement returns ‘success’ because the text gets loaded.

My .fla files can be found on [www.cs.vu.nl/~arkrol/flash](http://www.cs.vu.nl/~arkrol/flash)  
I make a about\_us.swf that is loaded into the master.swf

Can somebody help me out?

Greetings Arno
