I have been trying to get more than one variable read into flash from a .txt file.

this is my code, in first frame:  
[INDENT]loadText = new LoadVars();\<br\>loadText.load(“testing.txt”);\<br\>loadText.onLoad = function() {\<br\>\_root.loadText.loadVariables();\<br\>trace(var1);\<br\>trace(var2);\<br\>};[/INDENT]

and this is the text file “testing.txt”:  
[INDENT]var1=kjkdjf&var2=“76”[/INDENT]

basically i just want to be able to import a whole bunch of variables from a file…
