Hey guys, anybody here up to speed on Flash MX 2004? I bought it a week ago and am slowly training myself to use it. There has apparently been a big jump from MX to MX 2004 in that Actionscript jumped from version 1 to version 2.

Up to this date I've been using the Visual Quickstart Guide for MX 2004 (by Katherine Ulrich) and it's been very helpful for most stuff, but not for working with Actionscripts.

I'll probably nip out and buy a good book for working with this proprietary language at some point but wanted to find out if anybody here could give me an explicit step-by-step example of how to create a text block that references an external text file (at the same domain)... I suspect that this will seem pretty simple stuff as soon as I understand how the nomenclature works.

Found what I needed today you useless wankers!

I bought the book "Macromedia Flash MX 2004 : Beyond the Basics : Hands-On Training". It's by Shane Rebenschied with web guru Lynda Weinman. GREAT book with step-by-step examples of how to do exactly the things I needed to do.
