Setting the Movie to read Action Script from another file

[romka]

Is there a way that I can have an exported movie in the .swf format and make it refer to another instructions.txt which lies with it? I tried #include though then found out that it embeds the info of the file into it at build.
If you know how to do this, please reply

Thanx

this is what i do:

#include "C:\WINDOWS\Desktop\WEBSITE\00 NEW\as\button1.as"


but it only embeds the scripting on publish (versus 'reading' the file whenever it's called on)

each time i change the script, i have to republish... but it's a nice feature, 'cause the scripting can be done in a better text editor

im not sure if this works, but u might be able to use
//blah.txt text file
action1=trace("w00t w00t")&action2=trace("h4x0r")

//actionscript
loadVariables (blah.txt , 0);
then
eval(action1);
eval(action2);

you might want to test this as im not sure whether the contents of the text file will be read by the loadvariables command peoperly cos of formating.

sorry i was quite confused about the eval statement
i withdraw my contribution and hang my head in shame.
