This code doesn’t seem to be working…

Any takers?

```auto

function loadPageLinks(loadIt){
    loadVarsText = new LoadVars();
    loadVarsText.onLoad = function(success){
       if(success){
        _global.linkArray = this.links.split(".");
        trace(_global.linkArray.length);
        len = _global.linkArray.length;
        for(var i=0; i<len; i++){
    nameIt = _global.linkArray*;
    createEmptyMovieClip(nameIt, getNextHighestDepth());
    nameIt.createEmptyMovieClip("holder", getNextHighestDepth());
    nameIt.holder.createTextField("link_text", getNextHighestDepth(),2, 2, 90, 30);
    nameIt.holder.linky_text.text = _global.linkArray*;
    nameIt.holder.linky_text.setTextFormat(bottom_link);
    nameIt.hitArea = _global.linkArray*;
    }
    }
    loadVarsText.load(loadIt);
    }
}

```
