using variables in external text file while running *.exe

[dartagnan324]

hi,

i've been finding a lot of stuff about using loadVariables but I don't quite know how I would use it.

i need to load the variables and variable data from a text file while running a projector file (.exe) because i can't keep republishing the flash file. so i might be on frame 50 or something before i use these variables to redirect me to different frames.

//text file
nextpage="5";lastpage="3"; etc....

//intended use in flash file
gotoAndStop(nextpage); //nextpage is determined

this is what my text file looks like right now as i'm not sure if the syntax is right, and i'm not quite sure of the exact code to use in the flash file to load the variable data from the text file while running the exe. hope someone cn help! thx!!

btw, i'm using flash 5

the text file should look like this:

//text file
&nextpage="5&lastpage="3"& etc....

no spaces, commas, semi...........
