Thanks Mike,
i am realising this but i haven't found a way of stopping everything
else from happening until my loadVars is complete.

returns undefined because it is not loaded yet.
you have to access the load after the onLoad event.
this could be a couple seconds later or even a whole minute depending
on how long it takes to load the file.

Hi there,
(my second try at this, I was really hoping on some help with this one)
I am sure this has an easy answer but i can't get my head around it.
I have even put the code into an #include file to see if it would init
the loadVars before anything else but, no luck..
On Eric's early suggestion I have placed the .load aftert the onLoad
function but that did not resolve my problem.
I am getting data from an external text file and using the information
tobuild a menu with the following:
//
var myMenuData = new LoadVars;
var myTxt:Array = new Array();'
//
myFile = "../textFiles/menuLabels.txt";
myMenuData.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
trace("LoadVars loaded successfully: "+this.loaded); <==this one
returns = true
myTxt = this.myVar.split(",");
trace(myTxt[3]); <==this trace returns the correct value
} else {
trace("Could not get the data");
}
};
myMenuData.load(myFile);
trace(myTxt[3]); <== this trace returns undefined
I am unable to get the info out of the load function, what am i doing
wrong? How can I make the info persistent?
Thanks
