RE: [flasher] Loading Text

[Jamin Shoulet]

ok...there is a gret tutorial on flashkit.com.  do a search for loading text

varibales.


but here is how the tutorial works:


create a text field, and stick it where it needs to be on the stage.  under

your "TEXT OPTIONS" panel, adjust the text field so thats its "DYNAMIC." and

give it a variable name...let say for fun we will call it "CHEESE"


in your time line...say a few frames before the text field appears, have a

frame action with a load viarible function.  the URL location is where you

are loading your text file (explain in a sec)...if its off the internet,

give an absolute address...just to be safe.  the location should should be

set to target...and the target is (you guessed it) the text field "CHEESE".

dont think you should mess with anything else in that panel...someone

correct me if I'm wrong.


ok..the text file that you are gonna load....real easy.


the text file should start with the variable and the "=" followed by your

text...for example:(without quotes)


"CHEESE=This is my text.  it loads very nice."


there you go...and you can add as many vairibles in your text file as you

please :)
