Hello people

I’v been creating a little question and answer game, where a randome quote from an external file pop’s up and then you have two buttons as possible answers, The randome quots are in a text file that looks like this

quote1=blah blah blah blah blah&quote2=blah blah blah blah blah blah&quote3=blah blah blah blah blah

now what i would like help with is this… is it possible for me to put some script on the buttons that 1st has a set of quote numbers and when pressed looks at the dynamic text box to check if it has loaded a quote assigned to it!

this is the random script on the time line

ranQuote = new LoadVars();  
ranQuote.onLoad = function(success) {  
if (success) {  
RanNum = Math.ceil(Math.random()\*10);  
ran = this[“quote”+RanNum];  
quote\_txt.text = ran;  
}  
else {  
quote\_txt.text = “The text failed to load due to an error”;  
}  
}  
ranQuote.load(“Quotes.txt”);  
stop();

thanx
