    reading the txt file is sort of a hack; the standard way to do it is to use xml.

    bad news: it requires a few more steps.

    good news: it's huge and super powerful; you can turn a whole excel spreadsheeet into xml, you can change a database into an xml doc using php, etc.

    on http://www.subaru.com we use like 30 xml files, and every bit of text and most of the graphics are controlled outside of flash, in the xml.

    check out kirupa.com for a starter tutorial or else google flash xml.
