RE: FLASH: Text.txt file problems

[Mountain, Mike J]

Your problem lies within the text file you created, make sure you have

defined your variables correctly using this notation:


item1=this is item one

&item2=this is item two

&item3=this is item three


notice the ampersands, these must precede every consecutive variable apart

from the first one.


Hope that's of some help.

++ Hi.......I am rather confused.

++ 

++ I have put together a scrolling text via 

++ variables......which works fine if

++ I use the text.txt file supplied with the .fla file. But as 

++ soon as I either

++ save the supplied text.txt file or try to create my own 

++ text.txt file the

++ text doesn't appear in the text box and naturally the scroll 

++ buttons don't

++ work. If I then unzip the original text.txt over the top of the saved

++ text.txt it works again. This is the same for the .fla file 

++ supplied with

++ the tutorial or my own .fla file.

++ 

++ It doesn't matter whether I save the .txt files in wordpad 

++ or notepad I have

++ the same problem.

++ 

++ Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

++
