FLASH: loading variables from a remote file

[Calin *]

When you load variables from a remote file, make sure that you load them

into an empty target, not into a certain level, otherwise you will have to

use _levelx:variable_name when you assign it where x is the level on which

you loaded it. You just change the radio button from the "level" position to

the "target" position but do not specify a target. The action should look

something like Load Variables ("variables.txt", "") where 'variables.txt' is

a file that contains just this text: 'var1=Bla bla bla'. After that, when

you assign the value of the variable 'var1' to the text field you want to

change, put an action like this: 'Set Variable: "textfield1" = var1'. Make

sure that the textfield name is of type "string literal" and var1 is

"expression" so that you load the var1's value, not the string "var1" into

that textfield.


Should work.


Good luck,

Calin
