Hi All..

I have a bit of a problem here. I'be been studying AS3, but I have a small task to do in AS2 and I'm kind of lost. I just need to load external tex, this is thre code that i have:

loadText = new LoadVars();

loadText.load("external.txt");
loadText.onLoad = function(success) {
    if(success == true) {
        text_txt.text = loadText.VARIABLE;
    }
};

I'm not sure what I"m suppoused to put in place of the variable?

Thanks a bunch ahead of time!

Correct answer kglad

what ever you used in the text file. for example, if you used:

myvar = this is in external.txt

you could use:

loadText = new LoadVars();

loadText.load("external.txt");
loadText.onLoad = function(success) {
    if(success == true) {
        text_txt.text = this.myvar;
    }
};

or if you just have text in your textfile without assignment to a variable, use:

loadText = new LoadVars();

loadText.load("external.txt");
loadText.onData = function(src) {

text_txt.text = src;

};
