FLASH: Text.txt file problems

[Robyn Winter]

Hi.......I am rather confused.


I have put together a scrolling text via variables......which works fine if

I use the text.txt file supplied with the .fla file. But as soon as I either

save the supplied text.txt file or try to create my own text.txt file the

text doesn't appear in the text box and naturally the scroll buttons don't

work. If I then unzip the original text.txt over the top of the saved

text.txt it works again. This is the same for the .fla file supplied with

the tutorial or my own .fla file.


It doesn't matter whether I save the .txt files in wordpad or notepad I have

the same problem.


Any ideas what I am doing wrong?
