Put this in your flash movie:

loadVariables ("file.txt"
// txtBx is name of dynamic text field
txtBx = txtVar;

Put this in your text file:

txtVar=Hello Regards

Thnx!!! but you just missed two thing!! (or at least, in FLASH MX i have to do it this way)

1)it's txtBx.TEXT = txtvar; !!!!
2)it's loadvariables ("file.txt","&quot becuase flash mx sais that loadvariables needs the target or the level to be set.

Thanks again!!

Sorry to jump in but this finally answered my question also.
If I may ask a question.
Once I have the file open is there a way to read a certain
line and position in that line of text?

Yes, as you can see, when you load the txt you specify the variable as txtvar=
After the "=" the text is assigned. If you enter another varaible as txtvar2 you can assign an specific line to that var and load it into a dynamic text... it should work....
