Hi,  
I would like to create a dynamic menu in flash importing the text from an external file. I downloaded an fla from [actionscript.org](http://actionscript.org) which makes the dynamic menu part (attached the fla & txt) and created a txt file. This is the point where I’ m lost: How can I import the text for the menu from that txt file and store it in variable(s) than build the menu. Please help me out if you know the solution for my problem.

Thanx,  
Skunk
