Doug,
Yes, I have recently completed this type of activity and you can import
variables from an external text file.

In an action (either at the beginning of a swf, or on the action of a button)
you will add the following script:

On (Release)[or whatever event you want]
Load Variables ("level1.txt", 0)
End On

This will load the variable in the text file "level1.txt".

In the file, you will indicate the variables this way:

question1=What is your favorite color?&question2=What is your favorite ice
cream?& . . .

Flash will automatically parse the variables at each "&" and you can then use
those variables within Flash.

Hello,

We are making an online trivia game. I can import external text files but am
unsure about importing variables for questions. Can Flash import variables
so that questions and answers can be easily changed or would each question
and answer have to have a unique textfield?
