Re: FLASH: Read text from file

[2Nerotik]

It's very easy...


Make your text field box.


in your text file:


variableName=your updated text here


If you want multiple lines with line breaks where YOU want them then add

%0 (that's percent zero) to the end of the text where you want it to break


variableName=some text on this line %0

more text on this line %0

last of the text here.


To call the text from the text file into the text field use this:


In a button

On (Release)

       Load Variables ("Text.txt", "")

End On


in a KeyFrame

Load Variables ("Text.txt", "")


Works for me. {=c)
