Hi,

I want to beable to automatically load an external txt file into my flash movie according to what date the computer thats viewing is running.

Heres what I mean. If the computer that is viewing my swf file has the date Friday 1 Jan 2004 then txt file “1” would load and show. If the day was 5 Jan then txt file “5” would load and show.

I have hunted around for a tutorial for this but havint been able to find one. At the moment I am using simular script used in the display date & time tutorial on this site, if that helps. 🙂

Thanks.
