loadVariables & loadMovie troubles

[xyboox]

Hi,

it seems to be so simple, and still...not working:

on the first frame of the movie, I have an actionscript:
loadVariables("myData.txt", this);

in myData.txt I've wrote:
&fisier=1.jpg&

Then, on the second frame ( and the last one ), I have an empty movieclip, with an instance called "target_mc" and an actionscript:
loadMovie(fisier, this.target_mc);
stop();

In the same folder with the .swf I have a .jpg called 1.jpg

Now, my question is: WHY ISN'T "1.JPG" LOADING?? I allways get the error message: "Error opening URL "file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/...../undefined" !!

Do I have to declare somehow the variable "fisier" as global ( like in php )?? Or...what else is missing???

As a note: if I put a dynamic text on the second frame, and set the value to be the variable "fisier", the text box displays correctly the value of "fisier" !! So loadVariable is working ok, but the value of the retrieved variable is lost when I try to use it in loadMovie statement.

Thankx for any help you may give me!

Are you testing this locally or online?

I've tried them both: local and online. The same result, except that online I don't get the error message, but the .jpg is still not loaded.

loadVariables("myData.txt", this);//the load starts
//play head is going on
loadMovie(fisier, this.target_mc);//the load is NOT finished jet
//coud even take hours by a 1000BM file
stop() //some when the load is finished and shows the corect value in the dinamyc text field by such a smal file you not realyze that you Dinamyc text shows for a while undefined
//look up "LoadVars.onLoad" in the help

your notes seems to be more than fair...but:

if I change in loadMovie(fisier, this.target_mc) the url with "1.jpg", everything is just fine: the picture is displayed.

Anyway, I'll try using LoadVars.onLoad. Hope to find useful info in help :)

so, I've tried with LoadVars.onLoad and...still not working. Here is the actionscript on the second frame, and on the first I've deleted everything:
this.LoadVars.sendAndLoad("myData.txt", this);
this.LoadVars.onLoad = function(success) {
loadMovie(fisier, this.target_mc);
};
trace(fisier);
stop();

[oldnewbie]

loadVarsText = new LoadVars();
loadVarsText.load("myData.txt");
loadVarsText.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
trace ("done loading");
picToLoad = this.fisier;
trace(picToLoad);
target_mc.loadMovie(picToLoad);
} else {
trace ("not loaded");
}
};
