RE: [flasher] Can Flash read a text file for input??

[Rebecca Lovelace]

Sure, just use loadVariables("mytextfile.txt")

you would have your textfile in the format

VARNAME1=blahblahblah&VARNAME2=blahblahblah

etc.

         Hello Flashers,


          Working on a flash presentation that will be using text to title 

people speaking during the

show. It would be nice to be able to make only one flash SWF and have it 

read an associated

text file to get the names, dept., etc. In other words I have a flash 

template and I add a simple

text file in which the SWF reads upon startup. The text file would contain 

the presenter details, etc.


         Thsi way I don't have to make a new flash movie for every single 

presentation...
