    Well... I have never heard of that one

    You mean? loadvariable.onLoad

    All I could find in the Flash 5 Help file is this...

    loadVariables("myData.txt", 0);
    gotoAndPlay(lastFrameVisited);

    I couldn't find any reference to loadvariable.onLoad?

    I have always just made enough frames to allow for the load time. But I am trying to be more efficient here.

    I just started seriously trying to learn how to create Flash web apps a week ago.

    Maybe my brain is getting fried here, working to hard on this.
    See I made a Flash Wiki on my site, but I have been having trouble with the toolbar buttons on the editor window. I load two seperate swf's.

    I want to only have one swf. So I have backtracked and I am trying to rebuild it using different approach.

    So I have been working on this since the 18th of Nov.... about 6 hours a day. I have run across of many problems that now I am burning out here.

    It may seem that I am looking for a free ride here. But I am trying lot's of updates that no one sees. I must of update my wiki app 100+ times already.

    And it is all beacuse my functions for the toolbar are getting disconnected when I load a file in the same frame as the functions.

    Can I go to sleep now??

    OMG ...

    the fricking LoadVars-Object is Flash6..

    Sorry.. i used Flash5 the last time 3 years ago..
    For flash5 your approach with the readVar in php was right..
    But i suggest upgrading your flash version, you are trying to
    do quite complicated things, which are much easier to handle
    with newer versions of flash..

    Have a good night.

    For your Wiki Problem:
    see:
    http://www.flashkit.com/movies/Scrip...1041/index.php
    (flash6)
    and even better:
    http://www.flashkit.com/movies/Utili...3935/index.php
    (claims to be flash5)

    I would love to get Flash MX or newer. But my budget is very tight.

    Know of anyone who has a used Flash MX for sale... I would loved to hear from them!!

    I know it's complictated... But I know I can save and read text files. It just getting my interface to load my files and functions correctly. The toolbar buttons work fine on my PC, but when online.... no go.

    I am going to take a break.... so can you guys can too.
    Thanks for all you have done so far.
    You have really been patient as I fight flash 5 technology.

    I'll get it... i will just keep hammering away.

    He was joking ... calling the Flash Kit Administrators to make a mandratory field for the Flash Vesion one uses

    Anyway, your wiki looks cool! You do have some problems though.

    I have a similar apllication which I use in an CMS admin ..it's wysiwyg editor, but also supports fonts and colors, images, bullet lists and the buttons work better I mean when someone selects a text in my application and then presses a button it turns the selected text into bold, italics or whatever the button is for. I am not sure if you can do that in Flash % though .. I dont remember if there was a selction object which I am using.
    while (2+2 == 4) {
    drink ("bourbon");
    }
    gotoAndStop("bed");

    Smiley... I seen your comments in my wiki. I had the buttons working when you highlight them and scrollbars did work...

    But because I have made alot of quick changes today, just trying to get the Functions and saving to work properly, I must of messed some things up.

    Can I see your WYSIWYG editor online?
    And do you have any source code (or tips) you can share in FLASH 5? If so... just hit my site and email me from there.

    Thanks... I am trying to break through and start developing web applications using flash. This is where I see the web heading within the next few year. I love Flash!! I'd like to get MX or Studio... but money is low.

    I have seen some really cool things that can be done in flash... that not even ASP.NET can do... which I am learning too.

    But I love Flash better!!

    Yeah, Flash rules, although there are things you can't do With Flash, but you can with .ASP

    Here is the editor:
    http://www.websweaver.com/editor/

    I am usuing there classes which are not present in Flash 5 though .. Like TextFormat, Selection .. and maybe other .. I dont quite remember already how I did it .. well, all of the details anyway.

    Also really have a look at the editors McUhser posted. You might get some ideas from there!
    while (2+2 == 4) {
    drink ("bourbon");

    McUsher - Smiley

    The one from Mike Dogan I have seen. That one is flash 5. I have that one.

    The other 2 which I like are in Flash 6-MX.... I don't have 6-MX.
    I like the font size and font name drop down lists. And I especially love the color drop down (simular to Flash's color selector)

    Man, I need to get MX or Studio... I have seen a lot of good stuff from MX-Studio... but boy is money tight for a $300-$400 bucks program.

    Because I only do this as a hobby, and maybe a job some day. I usally get my software used from somebody else.

    Any financial donations anyone???
