Hi Kartik,
Yes it could take some time to load the text when you have large chunks of text. You can add a preloader if you load large text files, you can find on this blog a tutorial about preloaders.

Hi there,

I've noticed on slower internet connections it takes a couple of moments for the text to render on the screen - have you observed this before? Would you know how to speed things up (or add a preloader?)

Thanks,
Kartik

Hi,
this is not complicated; fallow the step 4 from the tutorial to create a new text field, set its instance name to tField2.Inside the folder where its sample.txt file make a new txt file, name it sample2.txt paste some text and apply the desired html tags. Open the css file and add the formatting for the sample2.txt.

well done -

wondering if you might show what the code would look like for a Flash file containing 2 different html text boxes -

mutiple text boxes, styled by a single CSS file, really starts to demo the power of CSS.

I'm not sure what I need to copy/paste and modify

Hello again- you, of course, were right! I had that line missing as you can see in the text I sent you prior. It's weird because it was still formatting SOMETIMES but not flawlessly like it does with this line! You are a Flash wizard! Thanks a million. Dave

Hi there. Well take a look here: markasey.com/home.htm

If you see the formatting, click home again and it will refresh and usually you will see the tags.

//--------------loading external text and display it---------
var cssUrl:URLRequest = new URLRequest("default.css");
var cssLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
cssLoader.load(cssUrl);

Hi Dave,
Where do you encounter this problem, in the source files that I provide? I have looked at the swf and it’s no problem at me. Maybe you forgot to render the text as html, this line of code:
tField.htmlText= event.target.data;

Fantastic tutorial! The only thing I'm noticing, t...

Fantastic tutorial! The only thing I'm noticing, though, sometimes I see the html codes in the text. Sometimes they go away when I refresh, but then come back intermittently. Any idea what may be causing that? Thanks, Dave
