Hi gang

So, I'm fairly new to AS3, so be gentle. I want to load a txt doc with some variables into my swf. I used to use loadVariables, but that's gone. Can anyone tell me the easiest way to load txt docs and access variables now?

Thanks,
Dan P.

Yes, white space will break this method. For more complex or larger amount of data XML is usually used.

Another question, dot he variables all have to be on one line continuously or can I put line breaks in? I tried to do it, but it broke... looks like the ampersand placement is key for this, right?

See attached code which loads in the following text file:

//-----BEGIN TEXT FILE myTextDoc.txt----------\\

var1=This is var 1&var2=This is var 2

//--------------------END TEXT FILE---------------------\\
