looping external text file

[Susanne Everson]

Hi All!


I'm new with major Actionscript...so I read in tutorials...


Flash doesn't stop for a text file to load. This is why we want the Flash

file to loop while the text file loads. Does someone have a Flash 5 example

of this?


I've been trying to figure it out from a Flash 4 tutorial but my text file

is not loading.


This is what I have...and yes - i did put &textloaded=OK into the top of my

text file...what am I doing wrong? Does anyone have a Flash 5 expample?

MANY, many thanks in advance... Sue


Scene 1

   window

Symbol Definition(s)

   window

      (empty), (scrolltext)

      actions for frame 1

         loadVariablesNum ("scrolltext.txt", 0);

      actions for frame 2

         if (/:textloaded="OK") {

            gotoAndPlay (4);

         }

      actions for frame 3

         gotoAndPlay (2);


******

my text file:


&textloaded=OK

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.......[more text]


*****

the result:

No load...no errors :(


Thanks, 

Sue
