[RESOLVED] [F8] load text

[Vox98]

Hey everyone, I have a problem with getting my text to show. Im wondering if someone can help me out and take a look at the code I have. Its the attached movieClip songSamples. A fellow FK member pellepiano had helped me with this code a while back, and just recently dicovered that I can put it to use again.

stop ();
var lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars ();
lv.onLoad = function ()
{
    for (i = 1; i < 4; i++)
    {
        listBox.htmlText += "<font color='#333333'>" + this["artist" + i] + "</font>" + newline + this["item" + i] + newline + ".............................." + newline;
        trace (this["artist" + i]);
    }
};
lv.load ("songList.txt"); 

Eliminate loadVariables in the beginning. Also change song1 to item1 and change song to item as I did here.

EDITED: forgot onething, set the publish settings to Flash 8.

One question regarding the actionscript. If I have a total of 8 items in the list, how do I not show the dotted line after the last item in the list?

for (i = 1; i < 9; i++)
    {
        if (i < 8)
        {
            listBox.htmlText += "<font color='#333333'>" + this["artist" + i] + "</font>" + newline + this["item" + i] + newline + ".............................." + newline;
        }
        else
        {
            listBox.htmlText += "<font color='#333333'>" + this["artist" + i] + "</font>" + newline + this["item" + i];
        }
    }
