Re: FLASH: Load Movie using variable

[Waldo Smeets]

Thanks Dave,


someone from the Flash Pro mailinglist alreay told me what my problem was:

I used good codings, but because loading a text file takes some time it didn't

work with me.


that was because at 1 frame i used "load variables" and load movie etc at once.

Simply the url1 couldn't be read that quick!


Butt still, thanks for your help.

Hope someone else will lear from this problem.
