I have searched the tutorials on flashkit and none work for me but I need to figure out how to pull names from a text file.

for example: In my flash file I have a list of names that needs to be updated every so offten and it is to much trouble to go in and edit the text in the FLA so i was wondering how to pull from a text file that I can easily edit.

Can anyone help, please.

Thanks

Out of flash help.... a good example as it uses a callback function that tells you when the variables are loaded...

The following example loads information from a text file called params.txt into the target_mc movie clip that is created using createEmptyMovieClip(). The setInterval() function is used to check the loading progress. The script checks for a variable in the params.txt file named done.

this.createEmptyMovieClip("target_mc", this.getNextHighestDepth());
loadVariables("params.txt", target_mc);
function checkParamsLoaded() {
  if (target_mc.done == undefined) {
    trace("not yet.");
  } else {
    trace("finished loading. killing interval.");
    trace("-------------");
    for (i in target_mc) {
      trace(i+": "+target_mc[i]);
    }
    trace("-------------");
    clearInterval(param_interval);
  }
}
var param_interval = setInterval(checkParamsLoaded, 100);

the pasprams text file includes the following text ->
var1="hello"&var2="goodbye"&done="done"

hop that helps..

That doesn't quite help, cuase the Load Variables function still doesn't work for me. Where should the text file be relitive to the the SWF?
