    Hi dude,

    you saved me twice today, wanna make it a third???

    That problem I was having with the '&' I actually need to keep it as it forms part of the company logo.

    any way i can get it to work - can I edit the external using any specia;l comment quotes??

    if you know - let me know

    Cheers

    John

    Heres What To Do replace all The "&"'s in your text file with and then insert a movieclip and in the first frame put:

    Set Variable: "../:total" = Length ( ../:body )
    Set Variable: "../:i" = "1"
    Set Variable: "../:z" = "1"
    Loop While (../:i <= ../:total)
    Set Variable: "../:section" & ../:i = Substring(../:body,../:i,3)
    Set Variable: "../:i" = ../:i + 1
    End Loop
    Loop While (../:z <= ../:total)
    If (Eval("../:section" & ../:z) eq "and " )
    Set Variable: "../:count" = ../:z
    Set Variable: "../:z" = ../:total + 1
    Set Variable: "../:body" = Substring(../:body,1, ../:count-1) &"&" & Substring(../:body, (../:count -1)+5, ../:total - (../:count - 1)+ 4)
    Else
    Set Variable: "../:z" = ../:z + 1
    End If
    End Loop

    Then On The Second Frame Put Go to and play 1

    Put this movieclip in frmae one of the main timeline
    and then put load variables(your text file.txt)level 0 on the actions


    This searches the text file for "and" and then replaces it with "&"

    In your text file do the following body=andthenyourtext

    Hope Thsi Helps If Not E-Mail Me And I Will Explain it further!!!!!!!1
