loading var from txt

alright i used to know how to do this in flash mx, and im trying to do it again but ive forgotten due to inactivity...:( any im trying to remember how to load a variable from a txt file into my flash movie.

the text file would have the news in it, in the "news" variable of course. this would be inside the text file for example:

&news=<<insert news here>>

and on button press the flash player would load the news var from the (for example) info.txt into a text field

im having great difficulty doing this, i even read through a few tutorials from a couple of sites and its just not working.

i cant find a tutorial i had used before that loaded loaded weather statistics for a specific day from a txt file when you clicked which day, a link to that would be fantastic if you cant help

thanks in advance

i can't find the tutorial you're talking about, but this one worked for me:

also, when i used a text file, i didn't put any character before the variable name. i'm not sure if that makes a diff, but in the text file, i put
news=asdfljlsdfj


good luck,

heather

well, i described the tutorial i had used wrong, thats the same one, thanks a million man, this is great
:D
