Large blocks of text

[TFfan]

What's the best way to deal with large bodies of text? Should I just type it into flash, make it a symbol and go from there? Is there a more dynamic method?

Guess it all depends if that text will eventually need to be updated or not. If you type it in as static text, and turn it into a symbol, if any updating is required, you'll have to re-open your project and re-compile the .swf each time. On the other hand, if you use dynamic textboxes, you can somewhat easily update any text my simply updating the text file, those textboxes would load at run time.

Dynamic text boxes seem like a better solution for me. Is there a tutorial somewhere?
