Loading text files: not good...

[rigel_kent]

Hi,

This is not going well...I have a movie with a container and a variable connected to a dinamic text box (_root.containerMC.daTextBox).

In each menu button, I have the code:

on (press)
{
    System.useCodepage = true;
    /:textloaded="";
    _root.containerMC.daTextBox = "";
    btemp = Math.round(Math.random()*(1000000-1))+1;
    loadContent("text.txt?x="+btemp);
}

The function loadContent is:

function loadContent(url){
                 var lv=new LoadVars();
                 lv.onLoad=function(ok){
                      if(ok){
                           _root.containerMC.daTextBox = this.content_new;
                      }
                      else{
                           trace("vars failed to load");
                      }
                 }
                 lv.load(url);
            }

Each text file has, this way, a variable "content_new" and a terminator "textloaded".

The problem is that when I press a menu button, there's a fraction of a second where the Text Box becomes empty, but the second after it appears with the previous text (not the new) - nothing happens for about a minute; only then the new content appears.

What am I doing wrong?

Kind regards,

Hrrmm..so it takes about a minute for the text to load into the textbox?
If that's the case (i just started learning flash) I would look for some kind of flush function or something...It shouldn't load the old text for a minute, and then load the new text...I would also reset the variables on every click before you load the new text so the old text doesn't show up.

Hi,

I can I reset the variables (for instance daTextBox)?
