With Load Variables, the text at the URL (whether a local text file or a file on your server) must be in the standard MIME format application/x-www-urlformencoded (a standard format used by CGI scripts). Any number of variables can be specified. For example, this phrase defines several variables: 


company=Macromedia&address=600+Townsend&city=San+Francisco&zip=94103


If you wanted to read these values into several editable text fields, you would call the first field "company", the second field "address", the third one "city" and the fourth one "zip".
