Hi Everyone ! I am new to Flash. I have just started with creating Drawing Pad, which can save and reload the image drawn once. I have completed the basic interface which includes drawing and erasing part. I am storing the co-ordinates in a text file. I am using MultiDimensional Array to store X,Y co-ordinates. But now I am facing a problem that how to load these variables into the flash back and using these redraw the image. I tried using ‘loadvars’, but it didn’t helped me as it doesn’t return string data. Can somebody help me in this so that I can load co-ordinates from text file and redraw the image.

I am using FLASH 8.

Thanks in Advance.
