FLASH: Newbie question

[Ball, Steven]

     Hi,

     

     I need to load many variables from an external data.  Can someone 

     help.  I see information on LoadVariable, but it doesn't seem to work. 

      For now I'm trying to get it to read in the contents of a file called 

     1st.txt on my hard drive (later the file will be stored on a server).  

     The documentation on this isn't very helpful.  The script read 

     LoadVariable("f:\bteorien\1st.txt","bteload").  I have a text 

     interaction, with the variable declared as bteload.  What am I doing 

     wrong?

     

     TIA,

     

     Steve
