loadVariablesNum

[0gani]

loadVariablesNum ("text.htm", 0);

This code worked great in AS2. It would get variables from text.htm.

Would someone be able to demonstrate how this now works in AS3?

the concept has changed a bit (and is a little more complicated). Instead of loading variables into a level or existing timeline, you now create a new object and load variables into that. What you would use to do this is URLLoader. There's an example on liveDocs

Hi Guys,

I can load text into dynamic text boxes when they are on the main timeline.
But when the dynamic text box is inside a movieclip I can't get the text load into it.

Can anyone explain how to get "loadVariablesNum ("text.txt", 0);"
to load the text into a dynamic text box which is inside a movieclip.

add

_root.

in front of your textbox Var-name.

Thanks Inzzomnia for replying.

Since I post may original question I managed to work it out for myself.
The following is roughly how your .txt file should look like but with your own text after the =. Also the path to the text box will be unqiue to your movieclip after the &&_root.
There are several text box variables on my example to do this you need the && before every new variable. This saves you having to make a new .txt for each variable text you want to load.

&&_root.gameZoom_mc.game_mc.text=Match the items to the correct person. Simply touch the character you think relates to the item on display in the box below.
&&_root.gameZoom_mc.game_mc.startText=Start
&&_root.gameZoom_mc.game_mc.backText=Back to Lifestyles
