load external text into scrolling text box?

[dfmsguitar]

I'm wanting to have a text box that loads text from a .txt file I have on my website and once that's loaded, be able to scroll without having to use the filename.scroll += 1; I'm wanting it to glide and this creates that jumpy every time you press, release, rollon.. etc.
any help would be much appreciated.

yeah... much like that (assuming it loaded from a .txt file) I've been messing with it for the past 3 or so days and I just can't figure it out (easy though it may be).
