Hi people!

To give you an idea of what I’m trying to do (and to show you that I make the efforts to look by myself…)

I’ve succeded to pop up a window with flash by calling a function in my html.  
I’ve send it the parameters about wich video I wanted in the pop up.  
I’ve succeded to send the variable to my pop up and to finally mix the variables with the code to call my video.

well, I still don’t know how to return a variable to a new swf…

But my problem right now:

My employer wanna be able to modify the site easily.  
The videos are not always available.  
If there is no video, I must hide the button…  
So I tought about making a variable yes/no in a txt file that would be easy to change for him…  
But it would seem like I absolutely need to send it in a dynamic text…  
loadVariables(“texte\_1.txt”,\_root.description);  
I can’t use the words directly as a variable:  
MyVariable = loadVariables(“texte\_1.txt”);

I need to precise wich variable in my txt file (movie\_1, movie\_2, etc) that I wanna use…

so my question is: how can I get a variable from a txt file and use it directly like it was a normal variable.

Is this possible? (do you understand me… cause I’m not shure that I do…)

Thanks!

you know… it would be much easyer to verify if the movie exist in the folder… do you have a code or some clue?
