Well im using this code

loadText = new LoadVars();  
loadText.load(“price1.txt”);  
loadText.onLoad = function() {  
chain.text = this.chain;  
sledge.text = this.sledge;  
axe.text = this.axe;  
};

And this text in my text file

chain=£200&axe=£100&sledge=£125

Now the first Chain variable will load, But the other two wont…Ampersands are there, i removed the pound signs at one point thinking that was a problem. But it wasn’t so now i am completly stuck.

Lol Dont worry fixed it now xD

How :)?  
I was about to suggest that you should first define the onLoad before invoking the loadText.load() method.
