Loading from a text file

I have the follwoing code to load from a text file. My text files are in pairs.

The code i have in my first frame is as follows.

myData = new LoadVars();
myData.onLoad = function() {
lu.Recsign = this.myvariable;
};

if (loadlang = "UK") {
myData.load("UK.txt");
}

if (loadlang = "IT") {
mydata.load ("IT.txt") ;
}

english_btn.onPress = function() {
loadlang=("UK");
langIdx = 0;
updateDisplay();
gotoAndPlay(3);
};
italian_btn.onPress = function() {
loadlang=("IT");
langIdx = 1;
updateDisplay();
gotoAndPlay (3)
};

however whats happening is, it only ever picks up the UK file. I have tried commenting out the uk lines and just using the second part of the if statement, but the produces undefined. I know both text files are named correctly, i think its a problem with my if statement. Can anybody help?

so what are the names of the two files and which statement is in which file?

what trace() result do you see when you press english_btn and what do you see when you press italian_btn.

show the first characters in each of your text files.

myvariable=hello

AND

myvariable=hello2

There is only one variable in each file at the moemnt. There is nothing else in there

remove (or comment) the updateDisplay() function and your gotoAndPlay() function. retest.

i wish it did but unfortunately it still doesn't work.

I added a trace in there as you can see below, and this comes back as undefined
english_btn.onPress = function() {
myData.load("UK.txt");
//updateDisplay();
//gotoAndPlay(3);
};
italian_btn.onPress = function() {
myData.load ("IT.txt")

//updateDisplay();
//gotoAndPlay(3);
};

myData = new LoadVars();
myData.onLoad = function() {
lu.Recsign = this.myvariable;
trace(lu.Recsign)
};

ok i changed it round to read the following, it does something very bizzare now. If i press one of the buttons it just says undefined. however if i then press the back button on the next frame then one of the buttons again, it always reads from the UK file.

english_btn.onPress = function() {
loadlang=("UK");
langIdx = 0;
updateDisplay();
gotoAndPlay(3);
};
italian_btn.onPress = function() {
loadlang=("IT");
langIdx = 1;
updateDisplay();
gotoAndPlay (3)
};

myData = new LoadVars();
myData.onLoad = function() {
lu.Recsign = this.myvariable;
};

if (loadlang == "UK") {
myData.load("UK.txt");
}

if (loadlang == "IT") {
mydata.load ("IT.txt") ;
}

mydata is not the same as myData. use:

Thanks for the code, however it still faces me with the same problem. I have deleted all other code on this frame to isolate it and this still occurs. Seems strange.

if loadlang is only defined after a button press you should not try and use loadlang before a button is pressed. ie, put your mydata.load() statements in your button handlers where it would be unnecessary to use an intermediate variable (loadlang), unless it's used elsewhere.

use the double equal (==) to test for equality. otherwise, you're making a value assignment.

i tried this

if (loadlang == "UK") {
myData.load("UK.txt");
}

if (loadlang == "IT") {
mydata.load ("IT.txt") ;
}

but neither work on this just get un-defined in the text box.
