Re: FLASH: Flash - variables

[John Croteau]

Hi Klyve,


Unlikely Nigel, I had you message in the queue but the complexity of

your questions and the value the answers may give you has delayed any

answer.

Files are not pulled in Flash only variables. You can make any variable

null or set it to a new value to eliminate previous values.

Flash can only retrieve variables from text files. It can only retreive

values for variables. You could use script, external to Flash, to search

or otherwise process the values of your variables before being retrieved

by Flash.

Again there is no file brought into Flash only values for variables.

Using string functions such as Substring you can create routines to

search for and find characters or strings of characters within a

variable.
