Loaded Variable

[NothingArt]

Hello, I have a flash scroll box setup where the text loads from an outside text file. It works fine but I don't know how to change the font color, size, and face. Here's what I have in the .txt file:
text=This is just testing it out, blah blah blah, just testing blah blah blah.
All I need to know is how to change the font face, color, and size. Thank you.

Either of the following:

text = &quot;<font color=\&quot;#ffffff\&quot; face=\&quot;arial\&quot; size=\&quot;30\&quot;>THIS IS THE ANOTHER TEXT CHANGED FROM TEXT LOCATION...&quot;

text = '<font color=&quot;#ffffff&quot; face=&quot;arial&quot; size=&quot;30&quot;>THIS IS THE ANOTHER TEXT CHANGED FROM TEXT LOCATION...'

I will as soon as I get home to my home pc, at school now and I don't have the files on this computer. I'm thinking that the problem might be with the dynamic text box but I'm not sure, I'll email it in about 4 hours when I finally get home. Thanks greatly.

old,

i have a question that is somewhat related to this dude's problem:

How can i fill up the entire dynamic textbox with, say a blue background color?

any ideas?

thanks,

biggie

Hey I figured it out, at least to the extent I needed it. I changed the text characteristics in the dynamic box in the .fla, not in the .txt file. For the time it solves my problem, hopefully I won't need to change colors halfway thru or anything, only thing I probably will have to learn is how to make a link in the .txt file.

Big...

Simply draw a filled colored rectangle on a layer below the textbox!
