Random Quotes ERROR! HELP!

[Zacky2001]

Hey ya'all,

I've got a dynamic text field, a txt-file (variables in txt file are readable in flash) and a flash movie.

On the first frame (where dynamic text field is, too) I would enter the following AC:

loadVariablesNum ("myfile.txt", 0)
newquote = random(47);
_root.dyntxtvarname = eval("q" +newquote);

I also have a button lying on the stage.

The problem: the quotes won't show up until I press the buttong to which I assigned

on(release){
newquote = random(47);
_root.dyntxtvarname = eval("q" +newquote);
}

although I have placed the "newquote = ..." in the first frame of the movie, too!

How is it done right?!?!
Hope you can help me!
Thanx
Lenny.

I would say that if you have 47 quotes odds are flash has not load all the file in the split second before you try to read the var I would put some frames between the loadVariables and calling on the variables

hope this helps
