Is it possible for a flash clip to draw a bar graph from external data in a text file? I want to have about ten bars whose size vary with the data in the text file. I am pretty new at this so I am not sure. My idea would be to have a bar go up a notch for each frame, then use a goto frame command. But I would have to have a clip for each bar. There must be an easier way? Actually I dont even know how to do it my way,lol.
