RE: FLASH: Flash app test - cascading nav (v2.0)

[Nathan Dicken]

Hi J�r�mie,


The text files load when the Load Variables command is called within the

Flash movie.  When this script is called from Flash, the text files are

imported and the playhead stalls until all the variables are loaded from

that specific text file.  Esentially, one line of code completes before

going on to the following line.  The text files are loaded into the browser

cache but through the way the Flash file is structured, it goes through a

complete rebuild as the browser page reloads or as you leave and revisit

the page.  This includes importing the text file variables every time.  I'm

currently working on faster methods to import these text files but still

sticking to using text files as they are easy to read and update.


As far as lending out the .fla, I must say thanks for asking but this one I

must keep private.  However, I'd be happy to answer any of your questions

about the Flash file structure or overall concepts in how it works.  Hope

you understand...  :)


Thanks again for checking this out and for you comments and if I can be of

any more help just let me know.
