Hi, I was wondering if was possible to take this code:

loadText = new loadVars();  
loadText.load(“this.txt”);  
//creating the loadVarsText function  
loadText.onLoad = function(success) {  
if (success) {  
// trace(success);  
poemBox.html = true;  
poemBox.htmlText = this.Poems;  
}  
};

And instead of having the  
loadText.load(“this.txt”)  
have it be a variable like  
loadText.load(\_global.currentPoem);

Thus allowing multiple buttons to use the same code or does each button require its own code in order to load different files?
