Loading text Files

[XploreR]

Hello all,

Even after i read some tutorials on loading txt files, i find i'm going nowhere.

I have a txt file called a.txt which has the following contents in it:

&word=innocent

On flash, i created a frame and i add in the following

loadVariablesNum ("a.txt", 0);

that's all i did and it didn't worked for me. Any help?

you need a dynamic text box with the variable name "word".

innocent will then display in that box - is that what you wanted?....maybe you just wanted the variable loaded....

I dont know - I'll up my file anyway

cheers

yea, that's what i wanted. thanks!
I had a look and i figure i was missing a dynamic text box. now How do i make one? :D

[Billy T]

click on the text tool and then look at the text options panel

change it from static to dynamic and give it a variable name

cheers

That helped me out aswell,
but how do i make it so that the text from the text file is shown as a html based link to a webpage?

I need this for some work i'm doing. So i don't have to continuly edit a flash file to change links on a menu.

Thanks.
