Also i have put a button in the movie where i need them to load which has this on it...

on (release) {
loadVariablesNum(textfield+".txt", 0);
}

and in a keyframe I have this...

xposbath1 = xposbath;
yposbath1 = yposbath;


xposbath1 is the variable I used in the first movie and bath is the name of the movie clip in the second movie.

Is this right?:confused:

format should be:

&r=0
&mclength=500
&mcheight=300
&xposhline=173.65
&yposhline=11.65.....

&rotationvoid=0&

i always add the '&' at the end of the last value also(but it is not necessary)... it trims any unexpected gargage from the file.
actually, the file would be better without the carriage returns. cause the value for the variable r is actually 500\n (i think its \n... maybe \r).

it depends on what OS you are editing the file in. In windows, it's actually \r\n, which flash interprets as two line breaks.

I definately recommend leaving out the line breaks.

Also remember that since & and = are special characters you cannot use them in your variable names or values themselves. Instead, use the escape versions, which are %26 and %3D, respectively (I've got a list of all the escape values at http://www.dreamdynamics.com/escapechart if it helps)

Technically you should use escape values for any non-alphanumeric characters, but those two are the particularly important ones....

lux, about the \r\n,
we had to solve that because clients were inputting dynamic text into a database from windows files,
we had a line in the php-script to replace the urlencoded chars,
i don't write the php, but it was sumthin like
ereg_replace ("%0A%0D","%0D")
it's probably not correct but you see what i mean

thought it might be usefull :)
