I have a .txt file with 10 variables containing 10 sentences. The variables are named myText1, myText2, myText3, etc.
I want to be able to load one of these sentences at random into a dynamic text box.

However, I am not able to properly reference it.
1. How could I make it where some images/text in a flash file is taken from another outside file. For example lets say I have a image and text that would need to change constantly. The image could probably be done by using a url and changing the image set to that url, but I would rather have it search for a images file name on my computer. For the text is there a way I could use a text document, and have it set up to take the text in that document and display it.
2. How can I make it so when I click a link to an outside url it doesn't confirm that I want to visit it.
I have a Flash movie that loads variables from an external plain text file, that a client updates themselves (from a web site which generates the file). A problem occurred when they used an ampersand symbol in the text field. Is there a way around this? I haven't seen a way to escape it that works.
View 4 RepliesThis is for mx 2004. How to load variables from an external txt file at the beginning of flash movie...At various keyframes in the scene the movie shows different forms for user to fill in into the TextInput components. As soon as these forms are shown, the TextInput components are pre-filled with default text (the variable values that were loaded, for example "Enter your title here"). I know how to do this in earlier versions easily with the Var variable but now I'm stuck. I've been trying to do something but I keep getting "undefined" in the TextInput.

Structure: There is 1 main file that loads external SWF files depending on what is clicked on.One of the external SWF files loads its text from external text files. This works fine when viewing the SWF applet on its own. But when viewing as a whole site, the text doesnt appear. Very annoying.I made that particular SWF on my mums computer running Flash MX 2004The flash file itself uses the Scrollbar component from MX.Could someone tell me why the text doesnt load in this scenario? It runs fine on its own, just not as an external SWF.
View 4 RepliesI am trying to control some of the global variables in my script through an external text file.I have a variable called "_global.scrollOrNot", which determines whether I want flash to use the text window with a scroll-bar or the one without a scroll-bar.

this is were I have a problem. It will always choose "MCtextFeldSB1noscroll". I have tested the whole thing with other variables, which were not changed by any LoadVars function and it works just fine then. As soon as I change the variable using the LoadVars function it will not work any more.
I have a flash form. When the send button is pressed, I need to access a php file from another server that sends the email. I need to access the php file like this: [URL], writing the 2 variables, var1 and var2 in the link. I tried like this:

View 1 RepliesOkay i have a problem where I am reading an ASP page into my flash. It works fine when I am reading into the dynamic text fields but when I want to use a variable for something in the actual flash nothing is working.I am reading a Database and everything is working just great, except that there are no more records to read! I have a variable named last which is displayed during the last record set so that i could use it to end the display of the records.I tried setting it up in an if statement...
if (last =="yes")
{
counter = 0;
}
my program pretty much just ignores this statement but when i read the variable last into a dynamic text field on the last record set it will display yes
I'm using LoadVars (results_lv below) to load variables from an ASP page, returned as follows: option1=4&option2=5&option3=32&option4=... etc. etc.
There are a different number of "options" returned each time, depending on the query sent to the script. I have access to the number of options ahead of time, but still don't know how to loop through them...
So... How on earth do I loop through these variables?!? Basically I'd be thrilled to be able to do this:
trace(results_lv.option1);
trace(results_lv.option2);
trace(results_lv.option3);
and so on, until they've all been traced.
