Re: FLASH: reading Load Movie value from a text file???

[John Croteau]

Hi David,

The above syntax looks fine.


The problem you are having is that you most likely are trying to do the

Load Movie action before the text file data is loaded (Load Variables is

not immediate). You need to create a loop that checks to see if you have

received a change in the data and then do the Load Movie.


> Anyone done this before?

Yes
