I was wondering if this is possible. I need to create a "Press Section" on a site that is done if Flash. The section will be db driven. What I was wondering was is there a way I can load each item into flash, like a news box, but between each item I wasnt a line of a small movie clip to seperate each item.
<<<<PBS
A example of this would be if the "PBS" was completely done if Flash with a db backend. Notice the lines between each entry...
Any help or a good sample would be great...

how about making a MovieClip that has the line at the bottom of it and an expandable text box on top into which you load your text?

True. But when they like 4 items how do I dupilcate the movieclip with the line so it will seperate each itme in the text box.

you don't.
The MovieClip you make already has the bar to separate built in...
If you look at PBS for example...
see the separation bar at the top? well imagine you make a MovieClip with a bar at the top of it and then inside the same MovieClip you make a text box directly underneath.....
you then load the text into it apply an autosize to the textbox and off you go.....capeesh?

Can you load text into a text box, then create that text box a var. so I could have in a text file:
text1=this&text1_toggle=Y
Then if flash have:
if (text1_toggle eg "Y")
do this
else
do that...32
