flash (macromedia) : Scroll bar with external text file

Hello all,

I need to make a flash movie with a graphic background with text from an
external file.

Ideally:
1) The text file would NOT have to be imported into the flash movie. It
would simply be in the same web folder as the flash file.
2) Even better the text file would have a separate css file so I can change
font size etc, while I tweak the movie, and get client approval.

If 1 and 2 are not possible, then I can live with importing the text file.
But CSS would sure be a nice addition!

BTW I have Flaxh MX Professional 2004.

Thanks

Rowby

Hey, I had to do a VERY similar thing for a student project a few months ago.
If you go to http://www.flashkit.com, you can find tutorials on how to import
XML and CSS or XSL. I was able to do it and I don't know a lot of
actionscript. If you want to see how I used it, go to
http://www.scranton.edu/mit.

Hope that helps!

Hi smjcatlove,

Thanks for the quick reply. I looked at the link and it's close, but my
client wants "regular" scroll bars, not the up and down arrows -- she look at
something similar and said she wants scoll bars, not up and down arrows.

But thanks!

Anyone else have a solution?
