that dont help but thx for the try =/

I need an example or something that shows how to count… for example in my text file…

menu=something|something2|somthin

the flash movie would make 3 buttons with those titles, and if i had 20 then make 20 with those titles, you understand? 🙂

I would use a mySql db to add each one and then count with php the number of rows. Then set a var and use a while loop to cycle through and append the var that is '++'d each time to the end of the name. or just set the table’s rowid to autoincrement and use that b/c it should go numerically 1-end.

then write to a txt file and load that file.

::edit:::  
oh, you mean from flash, I’m no AS whiz, it’d take me forever.

current = “0”;  
data = [“one”, “two”, “three”];  
total = data.length;  
while (Number(current)\<Number(total)) {
