loading external textfile (many variables)

[texbala]

I am trying to load multiple variables from a single text file...


//dynamic text field has the name as Text
loadVarsText = new loadVars();
loadVarsText.load("graphics_text.txt");
loadVarsText.onLoad = function(success){
if (success){
trace("load done");
Text.html=true;
Text.htmlText = this.graphicsText;
}else{
trace("not loaded");
}
}
btn1.onPress = function(){
Text.htmlText = btn1;
}
btn2.onPress = function(){
Text.htmlText = btn2;
}
/*
Text file format as:
&graphicsText
&btn1=This is a sample Text
&btn2=This is a 2 sample Text
*/


I have done this earlier, but doesnt' seem to work now :confused: :confused: (i know there is something wrong in the text file format)..

Try quotation marks around the variable values in the text file.

&variable="string"

it didn't work :(

&graphicsText
&btn1="This is a sample Text"
&btn2="This is a 2 sample Text"

Does the trace return "load done" or "not loaded" ?

Also, don't you have to assign a value to graphicsText ?

[texbala]

the text is loaded - "load done" in out put window

attached is the sample file..

not sure what you mean by
assign a value to graphicsText??

try this, hope it helpsloadVarsText = new loadVars();
loadVarsText.load("graphics_text.txt");
loadVarsText.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
trace("load done");
Text.html = true;
Text.htmlText = this.graphicsText;
btn1.onPress = function() {
Text.htmlText = this.btn1;
};
btn2.onPress = function() {
Text.htmlText = this.btn2;
};
} else {
trace("not loaded");
}
};
/*
Text file format as:
&graphicsText=there must be something here
&btn1=This is a sample Text
&btn2=This is a 2 sample Text
*/
