I want to easily change and edit text for a website. Often I need to

Is it easier to use:

- windows notepad and calling the file into flash, and using a loader component to display on a 'website'.

(this is the current method I'm using since using html code to modify the text within the notepad. However I noticed when I use "Return" (aka enter) to start a new paragraph it makes the space between paragraphs within flash twice as large. Anyway what I'm saying is that the information within the notepad is compact and hard to read.)

- using the text component

(which I have yet to test)

- creating a text box within the main webpage and edit it within flash 8.

(tried this and found this can be frustrating.)

- or is there a simpler way to create and modify text.

I prefer your first method. Calling an external text file into Flash. You should also look into using a CSS Style Sheet in Flash. With .CSS in Flash - you can better control the text styles (like your issue with the 2x paragraph spacing).
