Read in from a text file

[TyzA]

Hi,

Is it possible to read some words in from a textfile
and put a small animation an them (something like fading in, ...). I would like to do this so I can change the words whenever I want.

So,
- there is a file (lets say with the words, "Welcome,test,hello"

- These words are read in via Flash
- A small animation is put on them

Thanks for any help,

Rgds,

Tijs

Programming is like sex: one mistake and you have to support it for the rest of your life.

You could be better off using the new LoadVars() function as described here:

You may need to embed the font if you're adding effects to it! Regards,
