hi all - i’m loading an external .txt file into a text field and displaying it as html, works fine… but i when i include a link to display a _second_ .txt file in place of the first one, it only works if i click on the link twice.
i’m using ‘asfunction’ in the html link in the txt file. someone suggested replacing ‘loadVariablesNum’ in the root script with ‘loadVars.sendAndLoad’, but something isn’t right… any help appreciated!

Use _LoadVars_.
Check the attached example below.
