How can i display image and text from and external txt file?

Hello i was wondering if anybody could provide me with an example on how can i load one image and text from and external txt file into my flash movie?
For example load history from data.txt history=blablablabla
image from data.txt historyimage=/images/history.jpg

Thanks in advance.

Your textfile has this:
history=blablablabla&historyimage=/images/history.jpg

In your fla file you load the textfile and once it's loaded you have this:

private function completeHandler (e:Event):void
{
var myData:Object = e.currentTarget.data;
var myHistory:String = myData.history;
}

I'm sorry to bug you but i have not much experience with this can you please correct me cause i really have no idea how to make this work!

Code:

---

var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(new URLRequest("http://whatever.com/test.txt"));
loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, completeHandler);

function completeHandler(event:Event):void {
    var myData:Object = event.currentTarget.data;
        var myHistory:String = myData.history;
        addChild(elderText);
}

Looks all ok to me except this line, which I don't know to what it refers.
addChild(elderText);
