RE: FLASH: Manipulating Text File

[Glen Rhodes]

If your text file is in the format:


var1=value&var2=value&var3... etc


Then flash will automatically parse it and break it into individual

variables, delimited by the "&".  For example, once the above string was

taken in from a text file, then flash would have created var1, var2, var3,

and they'd all have "value" as their data.

Subject: FLASH: Manipulating Text File



Hi, I'm importing a text file into a movie clip text field using "load

variables". I want to then chop up the result using its

delimiters/paragraphs and assign the various chunks as variables. Has anyone

got an idea how this can be done? I'm hoping to set about 25 values and want

to avoid calling 25 individual external files


cheers
