Hello everyone.  I have a group of text fields set up in a scene for a =

multiple choice question game in Flash.=20

One text field is on top of the screen for a question.  Underneath that =

are four text fields for answer choices. =20


How would I set up multiple variables to bring text into these text =

fields from an outside source like a .txt document (done in MS Word) or =

from text saved with HTML tags?=20


I've been trying to do this with Load variable into location and Set =

Variable, but am not getting anywhere.=20

Any advice?  Thanks very much.
