FLASH: STRANGE TEXT FILE READING PROBLEM!!!!!!

[David Doggett]

Hello everyone...  I hope everyone had a Merry Chirstmas.


My problem is a strange one that I have never run into before...


I am reading in a value from a text file that will determine a movie to load

into _level1 from another url.  Here is the scenario:


data.txt

***************************************

&movie=template1.swf

&color=red


***************************************


Now from another movie in the same folder as the data.txt file I am calling

out to the text file data.txt and reading in the variable movie.  This has

always worked fine on other projects for me however I tried for about a day

to debug why when I read in the value of movie eventhough when I show the

value on the screen it looks correct what could be wrong!  I managed to fix

my problem somewhat by editing the text file a bit until it worked and this

is how it had to be:


data.txt

***************************************

&movie=template1.swf

***************************************


It ONLY worked when I took all of the data below the &movie=template1.swf

out!  I can have as many lines above it as I want but if I have data below

it messes up!


I NEED to be able to have lines of data setting varibales below it just by

the way this project works..


Does ANYONE know WHY this might be happening?????


Help is greatly appreciated and I would gladly send anyone who would be

generous enough to help me with this problem the source files.


Sincerely,


David Doggett
