scrolling text box nightmare

[edacsac]

Ok, I'm having compound problems with a scrolling text box I'm trying to make, and I just can't get it going. ASCII spaces showing in my loaded text, text not showing through my mask even though I embedded the fonts, and I know there has to be a better way. I had an earlier post that I deleted with a specific problem, but in the mean time I tried to get another part of working and came up with more, weird problems.

Could someone take a look at my files and point me in the right direction, or maybe suggest a better approach? I want a scrolling, dynamic text box for news items, but I want to use my own bars and arrows.

Please take a look, and many thanks for your help!

I've worked through some of this myself. I've removed the calling of second .swf, and put the textbox in the first movie. I've also fixed the embedded fonts problem as I forgot to add the line:

centerText.embedFonts = true;

The only problem I have now, is the text I load from the text file shows as:

%0D%0Astuff=Here%20is%20my%20text%20file%2C%20but% 20I%20can%27t%20get%20rid%20of%20the%20hex%20space s%2E%0D%0A&onLoad=%5Btype%20Function%5D

How do I get rid of all the ascii spaces and the onload and function part of my text? I've been searching, and searching, but no luck.
