2 dyn. TextFields & linking from .txt to .txt

[veedub]

Hi everybody,

I'm having this problem I can't fix... Let me explain what I want first:
It's just like having 2 HTML frames: navigation and main frame. In nav.html (loaded in the navigation frame), I have a several links to several pages, that have to be opened in the main frame. In HTML you do <A HREF="main001.html" target="main">Link 1</A> and for the second link <A HREF="main002.html" target="main">Link 2</A> (assuming the main frame has the name "main").

But now... How do I get this effect in Flash? ...

... when in stead of frames, I have TextFields (dynamically loaded) and in stead of *.html, I have *.txt. BTW I'm working with 1 *.swf, let's say Movie.swf.
The links are in the nav.txt and this is loaded in the navigation-TextField. Each link has to open another *.txt (main001.txt for link1, main002.txt for link2 etc) in the main-TextField - thus, the main-TextField has to load different URL (*.txt), depending of the link.

-- HOW TO DO THIS??

What I have until now, is those 2 TextFields, and the those links in nav.txt. I fixed it with JavaScript

<A HREF="JavaScript:FileOpen('001')">Link1</A>
<A HREF="JavaScript:FileOpen('002')">Link2</A>
etc.

This calls the function FileOpen in Movie.html (generated by Flash when publishing Movie.swf)

function FileOpen(i) {
window.document.movie.return(i);
}

the value i that is parsed by the function has to build the name of the to be called file:
e.g. Link1 sends 001. In Flash, the URL of the loadvariablesNum is 'main' + i + '.txt'
and so the URL of the to be loaded file is main+001+.txt = main001.txt

This DOES NOT WORK! the function FileOpen is not correct, but what is wrong with it and how do i fix this function?!
or, if I'm completely wrong, how to fix the whole problem, so I can achieve my goal?

Thanks in advance,
veedub

ok... i think i got your problem right...
when you ask javascript function to return(i); it will simply returns the value of "i". very usefull for math functions, but not in this case.
what you need to do is window.document.movie=i
(or maybe:window.document.movie.value=i)
but still, my friend, and that's the bad news, i dont think that the object: window.document supports the mathod "movie".
check to see if it is correct.
good luck, man
