Re: FLASH: reload variables

[avex]

Hi Muzak..


thanks for your reply.......

but it isn't working quite right....

I put this code in, however it can't find the file anymore...

I get the error:

Error opening URL "2102"


so it seems like it is loading the random part.....but not the file....

Is the syntax correct?  I tried messing with it but no luck...


but i feel this could be the answer i was hoping for!

I am getting desperate......even to the extent of trying to learn xml and do

it that way..


sighhhhhh
