Please

I'm using actionscript in the first frame to read an external text file
that contains a variable, anf then format the string with HTML code and
display in a dynamic text field.
My external text file ( text.txt ) in the same directory as my Flash
file,reads:
text=
&matter1=Alphacon v. Digital Financial, Inc.
My actionscript ( in the first frame where the dynamic text fields also
are) reads:
text = loadVariablesNum ("text.txt", 0);
frameLink1_s = "<font face=\"Arial\" size=\"12\" color=\"#000080\"><a href
=\"http://www.serengetiUS.com\"><u>";
frameLink1_e = "</u></a></font>";
matter1link = frameLink1_s+matter1+frameLink1_e;
Why does a dynamic text field ( set to display the variable matter1Link and
allow HTML ) not display the string?
If I make a dynamic text field to display the variable, matter1, it works.
I have used HTML with dyamic HTML fields before (not externally loaded text
variables) without any problem, using this exact same method.
Any ideas?
