RE: FLASH: Newbie question-load varibles

[JGL]

Also, 


in the 1st.txt it should have 


btelload=blahblahblah


name your text box bteload

Steve,


Try this:


Place the 1st.txt in the same foledr where your swf is.

The load variable script should look like this -

  Load Variables ("./1st.txt", 0)


This should work on the server as well withou any changes.

     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
