yep, it would be useful 
//read the text file "legends.txt"
myvars=new loadVars();
myvars.load("legends.txt");
//when the text file fully loads, perform some actions
myvars.onLoad=function(){
_root.statbox.text="loaded"; //just say loaded at top right of screen
//establish new arrays (lotinfo) that are the loaded variables split into arrays;
for(i=1;i<5;i++){
myref=this["lot"+i];//reference to the variable lot plus the value of i
trace(myref);
lotinfo1=myref.split(","); /*KIRUPA HELPERS! This is where instead of lotinfo1,
I would like it to give me lotinfo1, lotinfo2, lotinfo3, etc.. (as it goes through
the values of i).
*/
}
}
the legends.txt file simply reads lot1=sold,pic1.jpg&lot2=available,pic2.jpg&lot3=pending,pic3.jpg
so and so forth.
I hope this helps clarify.
Thanks a million.
bumpā¦since it is pending
I lost what u need when i saw that code!
lot1="sold,pic1.jpg";
lot2="available,pic2.jpg";
lot3="pending,pic3.jpg";
for(var i=1;i<4;i++){
myref=this["lot"+i];//reference to the variable lot plus the value of i
trace(myref);
_root["lotinfo"+i]=myref.split(",");
}
This seems to do the job.
pom
could u explain ur code ilyas, or something wrong with me today! :sleep:
Well, thereās not much to explain, h88. Since the text is loaded, I just declared the strings that are loaded, and then 3 arrays (created by the split) are created on the _root.
Or am I off course?
thats it, i got it!
Thatās the ticket, Pom. I donāt know what happened, but I tried that way in one of my attempts, and it did not work. That is really, really weird. Anyway, that certainly gets me back on track. Thanks!
as a matter of fact, I checked one of the earlier versions and it says exactly that, when I ran it, still gave me assignment error. I cut the text, pasted it again, and it worked! How is that for fun?
