I used this AS to load external text (load on its own).
loadTexts = new loadVars();
loadTexts.load("speaknote.txt");
loadTexts.onLoad = function() {
textBox.text = this.speaknote;
};
How can I modify this AS so that it will load when I press a button. I try to change it to this
loadTexts = new loadVars();
loadTexts.load("speaknote.txt");
buttonToLoad.onPress = function() {
textBox.text = this.speaknote;
};

I'm having trouble with this script. I have an external text file, from which all of the text on the page is loaded. I also have a series of thumbnails, but I need to have different numbers on each page, so I figured I'd put the number of thumbnails into the text file too and then run a loop to create the thumbnails and buttons dynamically. The loop works fine, until I try to use the value I have loaded from the text file. I think it is something to do with it being in a separate function, but I have tried making it _global.counter, I have tried putting the whole for() loop inside the myData.onLoad function. Basically, I have tried everything I can think of and still the loop does not run when the counter value is specified externally.

I'm using the kirupa fla source file for the hover caption URL...and have created an external movie file where I want the hover captions to appear to be loaded into the main movie swf. The hover captions don't work once this swf has been loaded but works as a standalone swf.

this is what i have ON THE BUTTON itself. (i'm using it to generate a stack of buttons, which work almost perfectly)
Code:
on(release)
{
this.text_txt.textColor = 0xFFFFFF;
this.base_mc._alpha = 100;
[code].....
now what happens is that everything works UNTIL i select a button. THEN it no longer reports (traces) when i mouse over it. (problem 1) ALSO once i select another button, the old button alpha doesn't reset to 0 and now i have TWO buttons that don't report on the rollOver. they still work, oddly enough, in terms of loading fullRes...how do i fix it? 'currSel', BTW, is defined in the main AS body...

I'm creating a flash portfolio, I have small image icons, each icon when clicked on loads a diff. swf file, image gallery that loads bigger external images. I would like a different external text file to load every time a diff. image gallery loads, for some reason I cant find the answer to my problem,
I would like to add some actionscrpt to each icon/button so it will load a new txt file when clicked on.
(each image icon is a button and has the instance name of icon 1, 2 etc.)
the code goes like this;
stop();
menuHolder.loadMovie("retail/photoViewer.swf")
loadMovie ("retail/photoViewer.swf", "_root.menuHolder");

I've got some code that draws a series of buttons. I'd like to label the buttons with an array that's in an external text file. I've got this:
var patNumsArray:Array = new Array();
loadText = new LoadVars();
loadText.onLoad = function(){
[Code]....
But I can't seem to get it to see the text file with the button names.

How would I make a simple button that when clicked once, acts as if you'd double clicked a video file in explorer, as in it either activates your video player of choice, or plays it immediatly if it's already open.
(I know I've not worded this all that well, please say if you need me to say it more clrealy)

I'm running flash cs4. I have an xml file I've loaded in but cs4 actually takes out the root nodes. So now I've been trying to add them back in when a button is pressed but I can't do it. I looked at creatElement and appendChild functions they seem to be what i need but I can't get them to work.

So I have this slideshow, meant to just cycle through 50 or so images, loading each up for a few seconds before it goes away. It obtains the information for the images from a database.For all my testing, it works as it should in IE, Firefox, Opera, and Safari on Windows.Yet I'm repeatedly told by someone that it does not work at all on Safari on Mac, but instead just forever shows the loading movieclip I have in.Sadly, I don't have a Mac and I don't know anyone, save for this person, who owns one, thus I'm unsure what is going on, let alone how to solve it.You can view it there. I'm just at a loss for why it's having issues. Is it just a single case, or is it Safari on Mac in general, or perhaps Mac itself in general?

The php file retrives data in the following format:
echo "nrsongs=" . $nr_songs;
$i=0;
foreach($song_ids as $song_id){

I'm trying to load a jpg from [URL]. I load if from my computer, it works.. load it online, doesn't. And it doesn't give me any errors or anything. The completeListener is not working! Is there a problem with flash loading from other domains or what?.. If I test it, it shows in Safari's activity that the jpg was loaded, but it won't display it.

Ok here is what I have.
randomLoader.swf - It has two layers. One being movieclip layer for loading the external .swf files to. The other is the script layer with the following code:
Code:
filename = ["random1.swf", "random2.swf"];
path = "http://www.domain.com/random/";
i = filename.length;
[Code].....
Now if I just embed randomX.swf into HTML they work fine. But if I embed randomLoader.swf in the HTML to load a different randomX.swf file everytime the page loads/refreshes the button seems to show up but does not function. I get the hand but clicking it does not take you to the URL.
Should I be using Java or PHP instead to load the randomX.swf files? I like how well what I have already is working and I don't have to touch the page to update it to show new randomX.swf files. Just need to get Z buttons to work

I am loading contact information from external txt files and everything is functioning, except my email links. The CSS hover effects work, but when clicked an email message will not open and the mouse doesn't turn into the little hand like it typically does over a link. I don't believe I changed my code at all, and these links did work previously, so I have no idea what I've done. And the code needs to be in the txt files, not in flash actionscript (there are lots of contacts I'm entering).
The following is what is in the txt files.
<a href="mailto:someonesemail@email.com">someonesemai l@email.com</a>

the swf that I am loading has a button in it that when I click on it, it will print the screen and it will email it to an email address.Everything works perfectly fine if I use the application(swf) on its own.however, I created a swf file that will load the above swf file in it when a button is clicked. the loading part is fine and it works as it should be. but the button for printing the screen stops working once the swf has been loaded!

I've spend a lot of hours researching this problem, and nothing has worked so far. I have a simple text file that I'm loading into a dynamic text box. I want to get one line spacing between the lines, not two like a carriage return seems to give me. So I understand the way to do this is with Html rendering. So I click the html render button for my text box, add a '<br />' to my text file, but still no good - it just displays the '<br />'
