Flash does not handle text very well. my advice is to throw the text into a popup or a frame or something outside of flash

i think u can go for load variable option.
just save ur texts in notepad file, individual file for each category

then call those text to dynamic text box using loadvariable script
find these tutorials

You can, but it won't make the text handling any faster.

You can creat a text area in flash, link it to an XML or HTML document, then
format the XML document with a CSS.

In the Flash file you will need to call for the CSS and HTML / XML with action
script. I can show you an example but you will need to format it yourself.

Example:::

this.myText.label.selectable = false;

this.myText.depthChild0._alpha=0; (set to one to enable the green glow)

//stylesheet
var ss = new TextField.StyleSheet();
ss.load("news.css");
myText.styleSheet = ss;

//xml
about = new XML();

about.load("news.html");
about.onLoad = function () {
myText.text = about;
}
stop();

I got that script from a site a while ago, I am not sure of the author but, it
was posted publicly. (not taking credit for it)

Anyway, I have used it over a hundred times and it works flawlessly.
