So you're reading in one variable (in) whenever the data is replaced in

the txt file.  That sounds fine.  I don't know why it would stop

working.  When you say stops working, do you mean the textfield "in" is

blank?  The only other thing I can think of is to add a wait loop after

the load variables in step 6 before you go on to whatever happens after

step 7.  That is, 2 frames, one with if (in ne "") then goto "continue",

and the second with goto previous frame (and "continue" is the stop

action frame in step 7).  But I don't know why this would help after 30

minutes if you didn't need it before that, so I don't think that's your

answer.  Sorry to not be more help after all those questions.
