	Yes, but I still have to be able to specify which style based on
the font in the original htm.
	I will have to translate at some point.

	Use stylesheets.

	That works a treat.

	Now of course since I'm going RTF>HTM>Xerte there's the beggar
font size translations to deal with. :-/

	I just updated it and fixed a different bug with loadVars
anyway, so you might as well have it:

	Usage

	iconID.readFile(url);

	Parameters

	url. The url of the file to read.

	Description

	Reads in an external file. Fires the 'onReadFile' event when
complete, and sets iconID.fileData with the contents of the file.

	Returns

	Nothing.

	Thanks Julian.

	I was mushing around the 2.1 help files and was sure I could get
it to work in a round-about way.

	Let me mull around a bit before I ask for a re-compile.
	I'll save that for the real nasty stuff.
	:-)

	there is an onData event I can trap for you on loadVars. You can
point to a url, I can get an icon to load it via loadVars, intercept the
onData event, and pass it back to your code in an event handler
iconID.onData. I can set iconIdD.rawData or similar and then when you
handle iconID.onData you can have a text icon {iconID.rawData}.

	The onData event fires before onLoad, and lets you access the
raw text in the file you loaded. Same with the XML class. Basically it's
readExtFile(). I'm not sure if there is support for it right now in
Xerte, but it is five minutes to add it.

	Remember the supported HTML is a bit limited, thanks to the
Flash player. Stylesheets might be useful.

	what do you want to do with them? Load them and display them?

	Thanks Julian.
	I just stumbled across it by accidentally adding a URL param in
the source.

	So what's the accepted method for handling external text files
in .htm format?

	Now you see why I got curious.
	AW had hidden unsupported methods, right? ;-)

	It isn't.

	BUT

	Under the hood, Xerte uses the same class to display graphic
icons and text icons, so the <DIS> nodes can have url properties, but
they refer to the URL for an image for the graphic icon. There's some
code that goes 

	if (node.attributes.type=='graphic'){

	  //add a graphic icon to the stage

	} else if (node.attributes.type == 'text'){

	  ///add a text icon

	}

	If I were to rebuild it, there would be two classes. In fact
there'd probbly be three, with one seperate one for swfs.
