	// Simple script that lets you visualize your scripts in an editor window
	// This can be expanded to save your scripts also in the editor window.
	
	class EditorGUILayoutTextArea extends EditorWindow {	
		var text : String = "Nothing Opened...";
		var txtAsset : TextAsset;
		var scroll : Vector2;
	
		@MenuItem("Examples/Script Visualizer")
		static function Init() {
			var window = GetWindow(EditorGUILayoutTextArea);
			window.Show();
		}
		function OnGUI() {
			var newTxtAsset : TextAsset = EditorGUILayout.ObjectField(txtAsset, TextAsset);		
	
			if (newTxtAsset != txtAsset) 
				ReadTextAsset(newTxtAsset);
				
			scroll = EditorGUILayout.BeginScrollView(scroll);		
			text = EditorGUILayout.TextArea(text, GUILayout.Height(position.height - 30));		
			EditorGUILayout.EndScrollView();
