dynamic text in loaded movieclip

[mrbrain]

I wrote this code

on (release) {
	_root.tb1place.loadMovie("textbox.swf");
	myData = new LoadVars();
	myData.onLoad = function(){
		_level0.tb1place.textarea.text = this.barz1;
		trace(_level0.tb1place.textarea._width);
		
	};
	myData.load("barze.txt");
}

how can I put the text loaded into the textarea included in the loaded MC?
The above code does not work

_level0.tb1place.textarea.text = this.myData.barz1;

okey, here you go
your problem is that u r adding a script to an instance where it's not in the same frame
so, u may do this or change your animation way

//the button's as
on (press) {
    _root.tb1place.loadMovie("textbox.swf");
}
on (release) {
    var myData:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
    myData.load("barze.txt");
    trace(_level0.tb1place.textarea.text);
    _level0.doIt = true
}
//in the same frame where the buttons is
var doIt = false;
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
    if (doIT && _level0.tb1place._currentframe>=_level0.tb1place._totalframes) {
        myData.onLoad = function(done) {
            if (done) {
                tb1place.textarea.text = this.barz1;
            }
        };
    }
};

Thanks. Now I pass the text to the MC in a variable, and when in the MC textarea is created, I give it the value of that variable. Now it works fine. Thanks for the help.

Now I can fetch variables values. I tried to do it with arrays. In the txt I wrote
foo[0]=aaa&foo[1]=bbb
but it did not work. Can u tell me why?


And when I get text from a variable, I can't display characters like è and ù. How can I get them?

You cannot specify the array items in the external text file like that because Flash only recognize the external data as a string... You'll have to change it to be something like this and loop through the items when the data gets fully loaded...

foo0=aaa&foo1=bbb

As for the è and ù... Search the forum... There are many threads that deal the same problem...
