I amnot sure exactly how you code is incorporated into my existing code.

Below is my code, the text files are named the same at this point until I have one dynamically loaded text area functioning properly.
The three dynamically loaded texts are "reviews" in the reviews options area,"features" in the features option area and the "other" in the other options area.

// ----------------<Load CSS>--------------------- \\
var cssStyles:TextField.StyleSheet = new TextField.StyleSheet ();
cssStyles.load("styles/styles.css");
cssStyles.onLoad = function (success:Boolean) {
if (success) {
loadedInfo.styleSheet = cssStyles;
} else {
loadedInfo.text = "There has been a problem loading the requested information. Please contact the Webmaster and report your error.";
}
}
// ----------------</Load CSS>--------------------- \\

//this.loadedInfo.info.load ("vars/tony_hyde_interview.txt");
// ----------------<scroll buttons>--------------------- \\
this.scrollDown.onPress = function() {
scrollDirection = "down";
scrollText();
}
this.scrollUp.onPress = function() {
scrollDirection = "up";
scrollText();
}
this.scrollUp.onRelease = function() {
delete _root.onEnterFrame;
}
this.scrollDown.onRelease = function() {
delete _root.onEnterFrame;
}
function scrollText() {
_root.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (scrollDirection == "up") {
loadedInfo.scroll -= 1;
} else if (scrollDirection == "down") {
loadedInfo.scroll += 1;
}
}
}
// ----------------</scroll buttons>--------------------- \\

//loads text into dynamic text box called loadedinfo
loadText = new LoadVars();
loadText.load("vars/tony_hyde_interview.txt");
loadText.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
// trace(success);
loadedInfo.html = true;
loadedInfo.htmlText = this.loadedInfo;
}
};

// set the alignment of the submenu options to autoSize right
this.reviewsMC.reviews.autoSize = "left";
this.featuresMC.features.autoSize = "left";
this.otherMC.other.autoSize = "left";

// create TextFormat objects that define the states of the submenu options
var btnDisable:TextFormat = new TextFormat("Bitstream Vera Sans", 12, null, true, true);
var btnEnable:TextFormat = new TextFormat("Bitstream Vera Sans", 11, null, false, true);

// disable the submenu option that corresponds to the currently-loaded section
this.ourHistoryMC.ourHistory.setTextFormat(btnDisable);
this.ourHistoryMC.enabled = false;

// re-enable the submenu options
function reEnableOptions() {
this.reviewsMC.enabled = true;
this.reviewsMC.reviews.setTextFormat(btnEnable);
this.featuresMC.enabled = true;
this.featuresMC.features.setTextFormat(btnEnable);
this.otherMC.enabled = true;
this.otherMC.other.setTextFormat(btnEnable);
}

//--------------<Reviews option>-----------------\\
this.reviewsMC.onRollOver = function() {
this.reviews.setTextFormat(btnDisable);
}
this.reviewsMC.onRollOut = function() {
this.reviews.setTextFormat(btnEnable);
}
this.reviewsMC.onRelease = function() {
reEnableOptions();
this.reviews.setTextFormat(btnDisable);
this.enabled = false;
//loadedInfo.text = "";
//loadedInfo.text = newTextloaded
loadText = new LoadVars();
loadText.load("vars/tony_hyde_interview.txt");
loadText.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
// trace(success);
loadedInfo.html = true;
loadedInfo.htmlText = this.loadedInfo;
}
};
}
//--------------</Reviews option>-----------------\\

//--------------<features option>-----------------\\
this.featuresMC.onRollOver = function() {
this.features.setTextFormat(btnDisable);
}
this.featuresMC.onRollOut = function() {
this.features.setTextFormat(btnEnable);
}
this.featuresMC.onRelease = function() {
reEnableOptions();
this.features.setTextFormat(btnDisable);
this.enabled = false;
loadText = new LoadVars();
loadText.load("vars/berlinafeatures.txt");
loadText.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
// trace(success);
loadedInfo.html = true;
loadedInfo.htmlText = this.loadedInfo;
}
};
}
//--------------</features option>-----------------\\

//--------------<OTHERS option>-----------------\\
this.otherMC.onRollOver = function() {
this.other.setTextFormat(btnDisable);
}
this.otherMC.onRollOut = function() {
this.other.setTextFormat(btnEnable);
}
this.otherMC.onRelease = function() {
reEnableOptions();
this.other.setTextFormat(btnDisable);
this.enabled = false;
loadText = new LoadVars();
loadText.load("vars/tony_hyde_interview.txt");
loadText.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
// trace(success);
loadedInfo.html = true;
loadedInfo.htmlText = this.loadedInfo;
}
};
}
//--------------</OTHERS option>-----------------\\

Any help would be greatly appreciated:)
thanks
