text file parameters as variables.

[matthew123]

Hi,
I currently have a file set up that imports and external text file and displays the parameters in the text file in separate dynamic text fields. No problem there.

the text file reads:

param1 = 300&param2 = 450&param3 = 500

However, what I want to be able to do, is set parameters that rather than defining text strings, define numeric values. I want to be able to use those numeric values to set the x position of an instance of an animated MC on the stage (animated with actionscript). I need to be able to pass the values from the text file to the actionscript.
I tried using the code below and it doesn't work..,

import fl.motion.Animator;
var bull2001_xml:XML = <Motion>
<source>
<Source instanceName="bull2001" symbolName="bull">
</Source>
</source>

<Keyframe index="0" >
<tweens>
<SimpleEase ease="0"/>
</tweens>
</Keyframe>

<Keyframe index="49" x={param1}>
<tweens>
<SimpleEase ease="0"/>
</tweens>
</Keyframe>
</Motion>;

var bull2001_animator:Animator = new Animator(bull2001_xml, bull2001);
bull2001_animator.play();

Any help with this much appreciated, thanks in advance,

Mat

OK, here's the thing.., I'm using this code to import the text file as variables

var myTextLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
myTextLoader.dataFormat=URLLoaderDataFormat.VARIABLES;
myTextLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoaded);

function onLoaded(e:Event):void {
trace(e.target.data.p0);
trace(e.target.data.p1);
}

the textfile contents is p0=200&p1=150

This code returns the values 200 and 150 in the output window...

So the question is.., how on earth can I use these values in the actionscript above??, using the variables {p0} just returns p0 as undefined.., I realize this is a bit of a newbie question.., but this is driving me crazy and would very much appreciate some help with this,
