Hey now,
I've downloaded the tutorial on scrolling text,
and the scroll_text works great in test movie...
it's the scroll_html that isn't hip to beat poetry.
(ps: have checked HTML option in the text option box)

anyone been down this road?

Okay,
I checked and have the latest version...

To elaborate on my problem, the HTML version comes up, but there is no text to be accessed; when I test or publish, it is the scrolling set-up with nothing to scroll...
I've even saved a file in the same directory by the name of "html" as a txt file, but no dice.

Any other trouble shooting suggestions? I'm out of ideas.

Thanks for the time and help.

test the movie in flash and use the debugger to see if your variabels are even loading (Ctrl Alt V to view variables in test mode)

Is the .txt file in HTML or just written straight out? Either way, there is no text showing in the TestMovie text field...
On Ctrl + Alt + V, I get this:

Level #0:
Variable _level0.$version = "WIN 5,0,30,0"
Variable _level0.text = "<P ALIGN=\"LEFT\"></P>"
Variable _level0."this is the script that I have typed into my html.txt file,

and it is coming up fine on the controller on Ctrl Alt V." = ""

As you can see, I've changed the Burroughs, but still no dice...
The text field is dynamic, and I've tried different fill types to make sure that it's not black on black or anything like that. It must be something regarding the textbox, but I'll be damned if I can put my finger on it.
Troubleshooting, anyone?

Variable _level0.text = "<P ALIGN=\"LEFT\"></P>"

your html isn't loading properly. either the text file is corrupt or your text field isn't HTML enabled. That line should show the HTML formatting and all the text in it and this line shouldn't exist:
Variable _level0."this is the script that I have typed into my html.txt file,
