Help please.......[controling movie clip from txt file]

I am loading data into one movie clip[name=m1] [dynamic text,multiline,html,word wrap] from txt[html][name=text.txt]flie.

and i want to control another movie clip[name=m2] from this txt file.

like in flash[begain tell target=m2, go to and play=2]
just like this.

thanks...

I think you are trying to use imported text that will act as flash commands. Is that right?

If so, it can't be done. Flash must compile all commands to make them work and it cannot do this on the fly in the player.

loook ...

i am using flash 5

i have one movie clip[m1]

at first key frame of main movie i am loading one txt file action is LoadVariable: "text.txt" = "m1"

i am selected "html" option in mc "m1" dynamic text option.

now this action is working

but from text file i want to control another movie clip[m2] which is also in main movie.

like when i say <a href="www.yahoo.com">click here</a> in the text file it is working.

but i dont know how control another movie clip in the same movie

please ....
any idea

OK,

you need to use:

<a href='asfunction:yourFunction,yourArg'> link text </a>

which allows you to run an actionscript link from within html text.

I'm not sure that it will allow you to do this:

<a href='asfunction:_root.yourMC.gotoAndPlay,8'> link text </a>

if not then you will need to create a custom function to do this by coding something like this in Frame 1 of your maintimeline:

function yourMCGAP (frameNum) {
_root.yourMC.gotoAndPlay (frameNum);
}

and then in your html you'd put

<a href='asfunction:yourMCGAP,8'> link text </a>

which would run the function yourMCGAP passing in the frame number 8 and the function would then play the right frame.

This should give you an idea of how it works.
