Buttons to load text?

[p13]

How can I adapt this code for use with a button instead of a frame action?

loadText = new loadVars();
loadText.load(“lamplight.txt”);
//creating the loadVarsText function
loadText.onLoad = function() {
scroller.text = this.lamplighttext;
};

I’m using it to load .txt files into a text box. I would like to have two buttons for the user to select the text they want.

Thanks in advance…

Howdy…

Are you looking for this???

yourButtonInstance.onPress = function ()
{
     // your full code goes here...
}

???

No, that didn’t seem to work…

Should I attach that code to my button?

Um… That’s exactly what I have meanted…

I am using the dot syntax to do the job…
Yes… You sure can use F5 syntax to do it too…

[system]

Unfortunately I’m not sure what I’m doing… Can you be more specific?

What I was saying is…

This script put directly into the button instance

on (press)
{
	loadText = new loadVars();
	loadText.load("lamplight.txt");
	//creating the loadVarsText function
	loadText.onLoad = function()
	{
		scroller.text = this.lamplighttext;
	};
}

and this script put in the frame

yourButtonInstance.onPress = function ()
{
	loadText = new loadVars();
	loadText.load("lamplight.txt");
	//creating the loadVarsText function
	loadText.onLoad = function()
	{
		scroller.text = this.lamplighttext;
	};
}

works the same way… First one is done in F5 format, and the second one is done in FMX format… Know what I mean now???

That could not have been any clearer! Everything is working now… Thanks a lot!
