I have a .txt file that is loaded into my flash file, but for some reason, it only will display the first 300 or so characters and then it won’t display anymore.

I’m not sure what is the problem. Is it my scrollbar or the mask that I have over the mc?

I’ve already checked the properties of the .txt box and it looked fine… I’m not sure what’s wrong… :puzzled:
