FLASH: loading variables

[T.R. Henigson]

Before I write my PHP code, I wanted to make sure I could load

variables from a text file so I put a very simple file together

(one variable assignment) and tried to load it with a button

action on my local drive (from the same directory the .swf file

is in. I got the following error:


	Error opening URL "E:\Active\test.txt"


I am running this locally on an NT box. I uploaded the .swf, .html

and .txt files to my Apache server but didn't have any luck getting

the variable to load. Do you have any ideas / need more information?
