Awesome.

Wow! That actually worked - Thanks so much!!! A little follow up question... I'd like to put some kind of statement in the "online.swf" file, saying that if the varialbes are loaded, play frame 2, otherwise play frame 3. How should I do this?? Code below: lv = new LoadVars()...

Ok. My fla is at: http://www.applanix.com/Variables.zip Basically the main.swf is supposed to load the variables from the text file in the first frame (this file will actually be at an online address). Then, the main.swf loads the online.swf into a blank movie clip. The online.swf should...

Yes my problem is pretty much the same. None of the answers above seem to work! My variables load in my main movie (main.swf), but don't seem to be available to a secondary movie (online.swf) embedded into a movie cip in the main. I have tried loading to the _root and different levels -...

Ok tried that - it didn't seem to work. The variables will still load in my main movie, but not in the .swf that I've loaded into a movie clip. Any other suggestions? Do I need a specific instance name on the dynamic text fields? Or will LoadVars() be better for this??

Alright I am rather confused with this one. I have a main flash movie which loads a set of variables from a website Code in first fram of movie: loadVariables("http://mysite.com/variables.txt", "_root", "GET"); This works fine for my main movie - I can set up two...

Thanks - just figured that out myself!! Thanks for all your help!

Yup it showed up fine. Mine seems to be working alright as well - only problem is that I wanted to have some html links inside the text, but they just seem to show up as the entire <a href... listing. Any suggestions?

That looks like it might work. Do I need to define the lv variable somwhere in my text file?? Or can I just set up the text file as: news1=Blah blah blah&news2=Dum de dum Thanks!

Ok - maybe this has been answered somwhere already, but here's my problem: I have a standalone CD project created completely in Flash and would like to display my current news items from my website in the Flash interface. Rather than just having a link to the correct webpage in my site, I want...

Thanks! I hadn't considered exporting as an HTML page... That works perfectly! Thanks for the suggestion.

Hi, I have a Flash interface (have asked in the Flash forum but nobody knows) which has numerous links to powerpoint show files. When Internet explorer is the default browser, these files open into the HTML window I have specified through javascript (proper size, no scrollbars, etc). When...

The problem isn't opening the file - in internet explorer, you can open the file by clicking that option on the warning box. (This doesnt work in Netscape, but thats another issue). I just want to get rid of the warning box. Its basically tellin people that the file could be a virus, which its...

I have a flash movie with several links to PowerPoint show files. The entire thing is a CDROM project. My links are set up as components, so that I can specify the size of the HTML window that will open, as well as scrollbars and all the rest of it. However, when the user has internet...

You are brilliant! That is exactly what I wanted... THANKS SO MUCH YOU HAVE SAVED MY BUTT ON THIS ONE!! I am not a programmer - and this is exactly what I was looking for!!!
