i have read the "scrolling a text box ii" and already have it working, my problem is how do you force flash to always load the updated text file.

"Scrolling a text box II"

its already fixed hehehe. but i do have another question, base on that tutorial can you put a pre-loading animation when the text file is loading.

Yes, I guess so. You could make a "loading message" clip visible on your clip event "load", and make it invisible when it's loaded on your clip event "data"...
