Hi, JGL...


You can load variables directly into a movie clip. Your frame action would

look like this:


Load Variables ("news.txt", "NewsFrontPage")


Instead of loading the variable into level 0, click the radio button beside

"Target" and type in the name of your movie clip. The button beside the

field should be abc (String Literal).


Assuming your movie clip instance on stage is named "NewsFrontPage", and the

text field inside the movie clip is named "news1", and your news.txt file

says: news1=whatever, this should work fine.
