inporting a direct .txt file...

[Qunto]

I am wanting to inport a .txt file into dynamic text.. I can't alter the text file in anyway. So i can't put "text=" anywhere.

I am trying with this AS so ar.





function getdata() {

myNews = new XML;
myNews.load("(Link: http://localhost/qunto_news.txt)http://localhost/qunto_news.txt");



myNews.onLoad = function(){


textbox = myNews;
trace(myNews);

}

}

getdata(); {

It inputs it into the flash file, but it doesn't place it inside the dynamic text box,
Also if it is worth anything, it come up with an output box when testing, showing the contents of the .txt

Could some1 help??

Thanks in advance

Try this and see if it works...

function getdata()
{
myNews = new XML;
myNews.load("(Link: <a href="http://localhost/qunto_news.txt" target="_blank">http://localhost/qunto_news.txt</a>)<a href="http://localhost/qunto_news.txt" target="_blank">http://localhost/qunto_news.txt</a>");
myNews.onLoad = function()
{
textbox = myNews.toString();
}
}

getdata();

try

and dynamic textbox with variable set to mytext

Um... Qunto had some limitation on implementing the regular text file loading, "I can't alter the text file in anyway.", so he is using XML object instead to load whole content of the text file and then assigning it afterwards...
