Dynamic HTML from text file 1

[snakehips2000]

I'm dynamically populating a Flash text box from a text file. Usiong LoadVars, the data populates fine but I can't get it to format correctly using the external CSS stipulated in the text file. Here are the simple contents of my text file:

content=<link href="../Main.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"><LinkColor>07780 777774.</LinkColor>

This is my CSS file stored in a directory one level higher (I've also tried storing the CSS file in the same folder):

body {
font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Verdana, _sans;
font-size:22px;
color: ##000000;
text-align:left;
}

.style1 {
font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Verdana, _sans;
font-size:22px;
color: ##000000;
text-align:left;
}

.LinkColor {
font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Verdana, _sans;
font-size:14px;
color:#FF0000;
text-align:left;
font-weight: bolder;
}

Is there something I'm missing here?

You can use an external style sheet in Flash but that isn't how you would do it. You have to load the stylesheet into flash by using the TextField.StylSheet() object.

Here's an example. Get it Here

Hope it helps.

Wow JT that almost looked like you knew what you were doing!
