(see [this](http://www.kirupaforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=59111) thread first.)

I’ve tried using a LoadVariable command to load the names of picture files from a .txt file.

They are supposed to be loaded into an Array.

When I test the movie, it will trace the array to the output panel, and show me the filenames correctly. BUT, when I go to load the picture (using LoadMovie), in the output panel it says:

\*\*\*Error opening URL "\*\*\*[_**file:///C|/Inetpub/flash/images/\*\*\*](file:///C|/Inetpub/flash/images/)\*\*\*"**_

It shows up like it’s not seeing a filename to load.

Why is this? What can I do to fix it?  
:puzzle: :h: :puzzle:

Thanks!

I still need help with this issue.

Has anyone else had this problem?

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks!

Do you do something like:

```auto

myPlaceHolder.loadMovie(MyArray[0]);

```

for instance?

Yes!

Actually, I just got it to work using the following:

**Frame 1:**

```auto

lv = new LoadVars();
lv.load("arrayText.txt");
lv.onLoad = function(ok){
if(ok){
trace(this.MyArray.split(","));
arrayText = this.MyArray.split(",");
} 
else {
trace("An error occured while loading the data!");
}
}

```

**Frame 5:**

```auto

stop();
this.pathToPics = "C:/Alex/flash/experiments/images/";
_root.photo.loadMovie(this.pathToPics+MyArray[0]);

```

I think it had to do with using

```auto
_root.photo.loadMovie(...);

```

instead of

```auto
loadMovie(this.pathToPics+this.MyArray[0], _root.photo);

```

Although, I don’t see how it’s any different. :puzzle:

Oh well. At least it works. :thumb:
