Load a Vairable from a text flile?

[sluap]

OK i have 6 frames and i am pulling in a vairable on each frame is there a way of doing something like below:

fish = "line 1 of text file vair.txt"
fish = "line 2 of text file vair.txt"
fish = "line 3 of text file vair.txt"

and so on and the text file would be like below

1
1
3
2
4


hope this makes sence

Cheers Slaup

yes..(and no).. it wont be exactly like that..but you will get the same result.

what you will need to use is a varObject (same as loadVariables)..but gives you more control (there is a link in my foeter that explains how to use the loadVar Object..called varObject)

basically you have create a new loadvars object..(give it a name) we'll call it myVars

this name: "myVars" refers to the WHOLE text file and everything in it.

so you textFile could be like this:

&var1=1&var2=1&var3=2&var4=3&var5=4

when you load this up using the loadVar object...all those variables are associated with the myVars object (textFile).

so on each frame..you can call a different variable

frame 1 code:
textField.text = myVars.var1;

frame2 code:
textField.text = myVars.var2;

frame3 code:
textField.text = myVars.var3;

etc..etc..

using a varObject is easy..if you have any question..post.
