Well, as you can probably guess by the the title, I’m having a problem with a file (well, three) that I made… It’s supposed to load a swf as content, and that swf is supposed to load a text file as conent… It’s hard to properly explain using text, so here’s an ASCII diagram type thing…
|site3.swf|–\>uses–\>|news.swf|–\>loads–\>|news.txt|
News.swf works perfectly when viewed in exported swf.
news.txt preview can be seen below.
\
So, as you can see, that makes it much easier to understand.
\
The question(s) I’m getting at here is/are:
Do dynamic text files work properly when loaded through another swf?
And why is this happening?
Preview of the text file (works perfectly…):
date1=Long date test thingy2&mess1=Wow… It worked.&date2=Long date test thingy&mess2=Blah. Testing the news boxes. And code.
