#include problem

[G-Rard B]

Okay, I've got a major problem. I've built a flash website for my family and I use the #include function to include a .as file which holds a lot of actionscript. I also have some variables in there so that we can edit the text without editing the .fla and republishing. The only problem is that when I change the .as file, the text won't change until I republish the .fla. Anyone else experience this problem? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Gerard

Include files don't work like that. They are included when you publish the SWF.

I suggest you have to look at LoadVars and call variables from a text file. That way you can easily edit the text file and you wont have to republish the fla.

I've just tried the LoadVars() function but it's not work. Can you give me an example of how to do it?

Thanks,
