Make sure the textfield is set to "dynamic". In the properties of the textfield, there is a spot for "variable". This is the variable that it will look for in your txt file. Let's say your variable is "myVar". In your txt file, your content should be like this: "myVar=Text I want To Display". Without quotes of course.
Try that and see if it helps. ------Original Message------ From: Alan Neilsen Sender: [email protected] To: '[email protected]' ReplyTo: Flash Coders List Subject: [Flashcoders] getting text from textfile.txt into a dynamic textfield Sent: Nov 23, 2009 3:51 PM In CS4 (AS3) I have a simple text file for my client to easily update their text content. I found the method var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(new URLRequest("textfile1.txt")); that is supposed to load data from the external text file, but I can't work out what I need to do to then get that text into a dynamic text field. Can anyone please give me a simple example of how to do this. Alan Neilsen This message is for the named person’s use only. It may contain confidential, proprietary or legally privileged information.
