Changes at Runtime?

[jimventola]

Is it possible for a movie to read an external text file and alter its own appearance based on what is there?

For example, I have a button with some text on it. If a file had different text, could the movie read that file and put the new text on the button?

Briefly, the user could alter the look and feel of the movie by changing some variables in a text file kept in the same folder. Maybe change colors, etc.

Yes very much so. Do some searches of the forum for LoadVars. Also look at the API docs for all the components, much of their apperence can be changed. So using LoadVars you load the info and make the changes.

Also my Dynamic gallery at the The Koolexchange uses a text file to change the Title, Colors and more of the gallery all from a loaded text file. (I might have used PHP I don't remember, same idea though)
