So I’ve been using this code for a while to load an external text file into flash with the subsequent text file having myVar= whatever… at the top. It works great, but only in Flash Player 6. Due to another animation in my movie, I need to publish this in Flash Player 7. What am I missing?  
Thanks,

```auto
path ="dealers/";
ca_mc.onRelease = function() {
		loadText = new LoadVars();
	loadText.load(path+"CA.txt");
	LoadText.onLoad = function(success) {
		if (success) {
			textfield.html = true;
			textfield.htmltext = this.myVar;
		}
	};
};

```

PS- Anyone else notice that Flash Player 8 beta doesn’t support things that 7 did? Kinda sucks…
