    [MX] varibles in external text strings

    for a few reasons, i'm using includes to refence external information with String lines. I want to having a line like "Hey Character, whats going on?" but it would mean that "Character" would be a varible name at the root path so _root.CharacterName. So, i put down the string as "Hey "+_root.CharacterName+", What's going on?". but this returns with CharacterName as blank, even though it's not.. as if _root isn't getting to the root, though it should be. I've tried & instead of + but no luck..

    any ideas or do you need me to re-explain something that might not be quite exampled right?

    sadly, no i can't really attach the FLA and since it's only a couple of lines, i can't quite see how it'll be that much useful when it might be better for just the lines in question.. which are just normal ways of setting a string..

    Post the corresponding code in the external file and how you're loading the external file and where you have that code!
