Animating text from a external text file

[decenttp]

Hi, can someone please guide me on how to animate text in flash which is loaded
from a external text file. The way we load text in dynamic text box and scroll
it, is it possible to animate the text thus loaded into the dynamic text box.
Also how to load an external image file in flash?

to load an image - movieclip.loadMovie("a.jpg"); // a.jpg must be
non-progressive format
to animate a dynamic textfield you must embed the font outlines,
if loading text from text file, perform a frame loop, or onClipEvent(data) or
use the LoadVars.onLoad handler to ensure that all data is loaded
before you attempt to animate it,
