Re: [flasher] looping external text file

[Gregg Caines]

The text file needs to be a URL-encoded string like:


var1=1&text=This%20is%20URL%20encoded%20text&textloaded=OK


You can probably get away with real spaces instead of %20's, but you get

the idea.


If it still doesn't work with a text file like this, then use Trace in your

actionscript to see what /:textloaded really is.  Also use CTRL-ALT-V

to check what your variables are, while you test it in Flash.  Those two

tools are invaluable when actionscripting in either version, and no master

actionscripter can get by without them...


Off the top of my head though, you should test textloaded like this:

Flash 4 version -----  if (/:textloaded eq "OK")

Flash 5 version -----  if (_root.textloaded == "OK")


I hope that helps....
