Hi Everyone,

I got this tutorial from the Macromedia FLASH 8 Advanced book at a local library. It has helped me through some stuff. The example of loading external CSS stylesheet into a textfield works lovely, but they don't have an example of loading an external css and external text file into a dynamic text field. I have read numerous tutorials from macromedia's site and a quite a few others from users posting in forums. I seem to still not understand it.

With this actionscript code to load an external css stylesheet. How can I make it so it also loads the external text file dpmoreinfo.txt into the dynamic text field that I render as HTML?

Please incorporate the following ActionScript. Keep in mind to use the dpmoreinfo.txt file in this code.

import TextField.StyleSheet;
var myStyle:StyleSheet = new StyleSheet();
myStyle.load("mystyles.css");
myStyle.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) {
newsLetterTop_txt.styleSheet = myStyle;
newsLetterTop_txt.html = true;
newsLetterTop_txt.text = "<heading>I would like to display my external text file here! How would I do that?</heading>";
};


Thanks for your support!

Hi. Unfortunately, I can't help you with your problem, but I was hoping you wouldn't mind helping me out a little. You mentioned that the book you got at the library gave an excellent example of linking an external CSS to your file sheet into a text field. I'm having a problem doing exactly that. And after much research and reading many tutorials, I still can't figure it out. If you don't mind, could you please check out my post in the HTML/XHTML section entitled "problems linking to external CSS from my XHTML file." I would really appreciate your help.
