You will have to load you data into a Dynamic text box. Lets get started.
Follow the steps.
1. Select Text Tool and draw a text box.
2. Make it Dynamic Text from the properties.
3. Now in Properties input a name in var input box, give name as data like this..
4. Write a text file in notepad and save it with name swish-db.txt.
5. Open text file and write the following code in it.
| data=Ultimate Designers' Community |
6. Now right click on first frame. Select Action now you will see the area where you will have to write the code.
7. In action you will have to write the following code.
| loadVariables("swish-db.txt", this); |
it will look like this.
8. Now it will pick the text Ultimate Designers' Community and display in your movie.
9. That's all..
But if you want to display your text which is in your movie, then in target you will have to write the name of movie, like this
| loadVariables("swish-db.txt", "_root.movieclipName"); |
Download example file here.
It will be more clear in the next tutorial, Loading dynamic data and making a scrollbar.
You can adjust the properties of your text box i.e. Single Line, Multiple Line etc.
I hope it helps..
Regards
