Hi, I was wondering if there is a way to load text from a url directly into a scrollpane. I know it is possible to load through dynamic text that could be inside the window, but that way I have to make the dynamic text block bigger everytime I update the outside source.... Is there a way for me to have a scrollbar that will scroll all my text, indefinte sizes without having to change the Flash file every update?

thanks, Zak D

couldn't you just attach a scroll bar component to the dynamic text box, and then no matter how much text you add or delete, the scroll bar will just grow regaurdless of the textbox size? This would be easier than messing with the scrollpane and nesting a text box in a movieclip, etc...
