    load different texts in different text fields through one .txt file?

    Hi!
    If i have different text fields in one flash page like price, description.. is it possible to load different variables like "&price", "&description" from one .txt file?
    If you take a look at my example there are 2 text fields:
    the first one loads simple text.
    the second one is called dayNames and had to show this .txt content:

    "&dayNames=Sunday,Monday,Tuesday,Wednesday,Thursda y,
    Friday,Saturday"

    when i test the movie those contents are shown in the output panel (it was a tutorial) but it's not what i was looking for!
    how can i load different texts in different text fields through one .txt file?

    rename your text field from dayNames to day_Names because the first one is reserved by AS3, then your last function on layer 3 frame 1 should look like this:
    Code:
    function loadText(event:Event):void
    {
    my_txt.text = my_loader.data;
    var loader2:URLLoader = URLLoader(event.target);
    var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables(loader2.data);
    day_Names.text = (variables.dayNames);
    }

    I forgot to say, that yes you can load various variables from one .txt file just start the name of each of them with "&" and then the code should look like this
    Code:
    function loadText(event:Event):void{
    my_txt.text = my_loader.data;
    var loader2:URLLoader = URLLoader(event.target);
    var variables:URLVariables = new URLVariables(loader2.data);
    day_Names.text = (variables.dayNames);
    test_text.text = (variables.test);
    a.text = (variables.abcd);
    }
    if I had the .txt file with
    Code:
    &dayNames=safsfds &test=dfsdfds &abcd=sfsdf
    then it should show up in those text field correctly.
