*/
var my_ta:mx.controls.TextArea;
my_ta.setSize(320, 240);
my_ta.wordWrap = true;
my_ta.vScrollPolicy = "off";
// Load text to display and define onData handler.
var my_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
my_lv.onData = function(src:String) {
if (src != undefined) {
my_ta.text = src;
} else {
my_ta.text = "Error loading text.";
}
};
my_lv.load("http://www.helpexamples.com/flash/lorem.txt");
