Subject: Re: FLASH: Loading variables to a movie clip

All I was saying was that ... presuming that you have that data available on
the root timeLine ... that you could then pass that data to a movieClip
using the syntax I specified. Specifically, if you have a variable on the
root timeLine named "news1" to catch the incoming variable, you could then
write another line, presumably like this:

NewsFrontPage:news1 = news1

BUT, make sure you are actually giving that movie clip an instance name ...
that is what the word before the colon refers to *not* the mc name. Here, I
am presuming that you meant "NewsFrontPage" is the name of your instance
name. Otherwise, perhaps you should name the instance something like:
myNewsFrontPage_1, just to keep it all clear.

Good luck.

Neal

Thanks Neal for replying . . . but still don't get it -

So, on my main timeline I have this frame action:
Load Variables ("./news.txt", 0)

My MC is called:
NewsFrontPage

My text box properties in the MC call for this:
news1

Of course 'news1' is a variable in news.txt

How do I apply what you just said to the above . . .

thanks again!
JGL

Make sure the movieClip on the stage is given an instance name then, rather
than setting a variable as myVar, name it using syntax:

myInstance:myVar

where myInstance is the name of the movieClip instance.

Good luck.

This is my third try send this to the list . . . sorry if it triple posts
:(

Probably a very simple answer to this:

I can't seem to figure out how to load a simple text.txt to a text box of a
movie clip. Works fine on the main time line but when used in a movie clip -
no go.

Is it to do with levels or what?

Any help is much appreciated.
