The picture on the lower left will fade to another picture but that's all they sent me for pictures so far, and if you notice the text area is showing html coding for some reason and I can't seem to fix it, if anyone would help with that it would be great appreciated.

Also the buttons wont lead you to anything, i'm just looking for an opinion on the design and a little help with the text field.

Did you set html enabled to true on your textfield?

[Craz]

Yeah and for some reason it's still showing up like that.

what version of flash do you have?

[Coppertop]

(great site by the way)

did you load the text as a variable or did you just type the code into the dynamic box? if you type it into the dynamic box it's not going to work. i like the site. smooth.

I have Flash MX, and it's linked to an external txt file outside of flash, this is weird I have no clue why it isn't working.

[Craz]

Ohh, also I used this tutorial for the scroller http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/dynamic_scroller.htm

[claudio]

loadText = new loadVars();
loadText.load("textfile.txt");
loadText.onLoad = function(OK) {
if (OK) {
myTextField.html = true;
myTextField.htmlText = this.myText;
} else {
myTextField.text = "Error";
}
};textfile.txt is your txt file;
myTextField is the instance name of your textfield;
myText is the variable inside your txt file;
inside your txt file:
myText=here goes whatever you want to display on the textfield&
if your textfield is inside a movie clip, replace the last 2 lines for:

movieClip.myText.html = true;
movieClip.myText.htmlText = this.text;Where movieClip is the instance name of the movie clip with the textfield inside

you should change the color of the scrollbar in the news box area, the standard looks really tacky. the rest of the site is good though.
