Editing stuff from txt file.

There used to be a tutorial for this awhile back, but I can't find it anymore.

Anyone know how to make it where I can edit a txt file on the host and change it on the flash movie?

Here's the file: http://clanexn.com/test.swf
(Er, forgot that it's just swf file so the dimensions are all messed up.. you still get the idea)

What I want to do is this:

There are eight boxes. When you go over any one, different content will appear in the middle. I want to be able to change the content of all eight boxes from an external txt file. Also, on each box there is a name; "Spelly", "Champ", "Xzibit", ect (these are all text). I want to be able to change these as well. The images themselves can stay as they are.

Plus, I am going to have other links (scenes) and I want to be able to change the content on those pages as well with txt file(s).

It'd be perfect if I could just have it all editable through one txt file, but multiple is fine.

Any help is appreciated, thank you.

I'm not gonna just tell you the answer but look up:

Code:

---

loadVariableNum

---

And flash read variables from a page by looking at its output, which must be in the format:
&var1=value&var2=value&

Remember no spaces between the equals and the value!!!

Good luck,
Danny

I looked around and found what you were talking about, but I still don't understand it.

I found these two posts, but I don't even know where to start.

maybe by reading there's tons of stuff there!!! just need to read the threads and experiment!

I did read, Manfogle. That's the reason I came back here. It says put dynamic text and I somewhat understand that, but where do I put all the actions and so on?
