Importing New TXT weekly

[BgBiz]

I can't figure out how to do this idea of mine.

I would like some help to import an external .txt file or word .doc

into a movie or mc. Then how can I have that text formated to a

certain style once there . Now, is there a way that this movie / mc

can access and retrieve a new text file weekly?:confused:

do a search on accessing external files... there is loads of stuff here on our forums.

the swf will load the txt file everytime someone opens your web page be it once a year or 100 times a day.

you could use a client side cookie to handle the weekly bit, but you would be better off changing the server side text file weekly yourself.

You could also write a simple script to get the date, calculate the week out of the year with that, and load a script coresponding to that week. Save you needing to upload each week.

To tg, I did that search and I found some good stuff, thanks!

To mad_a , that makes total sense, much thanks!

I am finally getting to know a little bit about this actionscripting thang. I have only been trying this excellent stuff for a few months now and I feel I am learning. I send you all my appreciation.:D
