Subject: FLASH: Newbie Question repost




Hi folks;


If this question should be sent to a more beginner level list serv,

please recommend one to me

Thanks



I am a long time Authorware user trying to find my way around Flash.

I have a swf file containing a set of rollover buttons.

I have converted these buttons to movie symbols so I can target variable

loads form a txt file on the server.


It seems to work fine, but I am having another problem.

I coded an interface in Authorware to rewrite the text file.

If a browser has loaded the page that has the swf file embedded, and at

the same time I use my admin interface to delete and re-write the text

file, access is denied.

If I go to the server and use Explorer to delete the file, no problem.

If I unload the running page, and then delete the file with the admin

tool, no problem.



I think the swf file is constantly reloading the text file.

How can I ensure that the variables text file is loaded once, and then

released?


Thanks


Dave
