Dynamic Text with external .txt files

Question

I need help getting dynamic text to display. I've used the
following tutorials (among others).

http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/multiple_dynamictext.htm
In Flash 8 on last frame of maintimeline of movie, I have a
layer with a background image, 2 buttons and a dynamic textbox
(made scrollable) with scrollbar component. Textbox is given a var
of "content", and an instance name of "textBox", which is
referenced in scrollbar parameters.
I have created 3 text .txt files, and saved them to same
folder with movie .swf file. Text in files is preceeded by
"content=" on line preceeding text to correspond with var of
dynamic textbox. The files were created in Rich text format on Mac
OSX4.11 and saved with .rtf extension, then file extension was
changed to .txt (wouldn't save as .txt)
I've added the following actionscript to this last frame:
loadText = new LoadVars();
loadText.load("TEXTintro.txt");
//creating the loadVarsText function
loadText.onLoad = function(success){
if (success){
textBox.text = this.content;
else{
trace("Error loading external content");
Buttons have an instance name assigned with the following
actionscript:
on (release) {
loadText = new LoadVars();
loadText.load("TEXT1.txt");
loadText.onLoad = function(success){
if (success){
textBox.text = this.content;
else{
trace("Error loading external content");
When I test movie, I can see buttons on last frame of movie,
but they don't load any text when pressed, and "undefined" text
appears in upper left corner of text box before I press either
button.
I am getting the following Output errors:
**Error** Scene=MoonOfWintertime, layer=TextBox,
frame=2500:Line 1: Statement block must be terminated by '}'
on (release) {
**Error** Scene=MoonOfWintertime, layer=TextBox,
frame=2500:Line 11: Syntax error.
**Error** Scene=MoonOfWintertime, layer=TextBox,
frame=2500:Line 1: Statement block must be terminated by '}'
on (release) {
**Error** Scene=MoonOfWintertime, layer=TextBox,
frame=2500:Line 11: Syntax error.
Total ActionScript Errors: 4 Reported Errors: 4

No more output errors, buttons still not working, but I got
my intro .txt file to load in textbox that loads with frame using
the following code I tried from another tutorial:
loadText = new LoadVars();
loadText.onLoad = function() {
textBox.html=true;
textBox.htmlText = this.textContent;
loadText.load("TEXTintro.txt");
Tried the following code with buttons, but doesn't work.
Other code suggestions?
on (release) {
loadText = new LoadVars();
loadText.onLoad = function() {
loadText.load("TEXT2.txt");
on (release) {
loadText = new LoadVars();
loadText.onLoad = function() {
textBox.html=true;
textBox.htmlText = this.textContent;
loadText.load("TEXT1.txt");
}
