Ok this isn't a full solution to your problem but there is one thing you
should look out for when loading text files and it may just help you
out.
I found out, thanks to John Croteau, that you must create your text file
and NOT use any line breaks at the end of a variable value. If you do
use line breaks the value 2 will be treated as a string and have a space
after it which is highly annoying when your using that number as a
counter limit. So if you open your text file in notepad( or any text
editor ) and at the end of each variable hit enter to make the text file
more readable you'll also be messing up what Flash will think its
reading in.

Subject: FLASH: numerals to string
Hi folks,
this is my problem:
I�m creating a weather map. I receive the data for this from the
national
weather agency and the file looks like this:
Hamburg 13 2 10 where 2 describes the weather-conditions (sunny,
rain
etc.).
Everething works fine. I imported the file and use the variables as
target-names for TT-commands. My problem is the "2".
I have a MC withe 10 weather-symbols. I labeled them 1-10. But Flash
won�t
accept something like this:
Begin Tell Target ("/hh_cond")
Go to and Stop (/:hh_cond_go) (where "hh_cond_go" is 2. )
End Tell Target
So, how can I convert the numeral 2 into a string? I tried to combine
the
numeral with a string, as described in the manual, but it doesn�t work.
Any idea??
