Hi Guys...

I am learning AS quickly but need some help simplyfying this bit of code, I have to create 43 of them and know that there must be a more simplyfied way of doin it! Can anyone show me the light?

thisText = new LoadVars();
thisText.load("exhibitor1.txt");
thisText.onLoad = function(success) {
    if (success) {
        title1.text = thisText.exhibitor1_name;
		}
}
thisText2 = new LoadVars();
thisText2.load("exhibitor2.txt");
thisText2.onLoad = function(success) {
    if (success) {
        title2.text = thisText2.exhibitor2_name;
		}
}

Thanks

use XML instead and put all the exhibitors details in there..it would be a nightmare trying to update and also load 43 different text files... if you don't know XML look at the video tutorial Flash and XML at www.gotoandlearn.com

Yeah i thought about xml but its too late in the day to rework the whole project.

If i can just simplyfy this code life would be so much easier :-)

stop();
var _MAIN = this;
for (var i = 1; i <= 43; i++) {
	var myText = _MAIN["thisText" + i];
	myText = new LoadVars();
	myText.load("exhibitor" + i + ".txt");
	myText.num = i;
	myText.onLoad = function(success) {
		if (success) {
			_MAIN["title" + this.num].text = this["exhibitor" + this.num + "_name"];
		}
	};
}
/*
// ***** Note, changes the first to include the number '1', so it mirrors the subsequent ones. So it would be like this...
thisText1 = new LoadVars();
thisText1.load("exhibitor1.txt");
thisText1.onLoad = function(success) {
	if (success) {
		title1.text = thisText1.exhibitor1_name;
	}
};
