Displaying external data in flash

[chrisbees1]

Hi, im fairly new to flash but what i want to do is....

i have a file called counter.data1 file on my server and that file contains a number on its own.

What i want flash to do is to have a dynamic text box of some sort to look in the file and display the number.

Thanks in advance, Chris
