Hi Cheri!

Thanks for answering. This varibles.txt file has about 300 variables in it.
Each movie (actually there are 42 of them) that gets loaded into level 3
needs to call anywhere between 10 to 25 of those variables. I got that set
up naming the text boxes (yep 10 to 25 for each movie) of each movie.

So can I just tell it to access that varibles.txt file, or do I have to tell
it to only grab the variables i want for each movie at the time it gets
loaded.

Thanks!
