for (i=0; i<listArray.length; i++) {
list.addItem(listArray*); //pass the values stored in the array to the listbox
}
} else {
list.addItem(“Error loading contents!”);
}
};
list.setChangeHandler(“myHandler”);
function myHandler(component) {
var which = list.getSelectedItem().label;//set which item is selected
var subData = new LoadVars();
subData.load(“sublist.txt”);
subData.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
contenttb.text = this[which];//search the txt file for the correspondent info
imgsp.loadScrollContent(which+".jpg");//load correspondent image
} else {
contenttb.text = “Error loading sub data!”;
}

how do i make it so it doesnt order it in alphebetical order? so like it shows it in the order that i write the things down in the txt?

Replace this line:

var listArray = loadText.listdata.split(',').sort(), i;

for

var listArray = loadText.listdata.split(','), i;

ok i thnik i found a code i need to put in my script but i dont konw where to put it. heres my code:

var loadText = new LoadVars();
loadText.load(“infolist.txt”);
loadText.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
var listArray = loadText.listdata.split(’,’), i; //split the content of txt file into an array
for (i=0; i<listArray.length; i++) {
list.addItem(listArray*); //pass the values stored in the array to the listbox
}
} else {

}
};
list.setChangeHandler(“myHandler”);
function myHandler(component) {
var which = list.getSelectedItem().label;//set which item is selected
var subData = new LoadVars();
subData.load(“sublist.txt”);
subData.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
contenttb.text = this[which];//search the txt file for the correspondent info
imgsp.loadScrollContent(which+".jpg");//load correspondent image
} else {
contenttb.text = “Error loading sub data!”;
}
};
}

and it said i put this in:
textboxInstanceName.html = true;

//If you are using the loadText.onLoad = function(),
then replace the following line with the following:

textboxInstanceName.htmlText = this.textboxVariable;

but i dont konw where to put it. and on the last thing where it says “this.textboxVariable” do ireplace that with the name of my text box?

Please use AS tags.
This should work.

var loadText = new LoadVars();
loadText.load("infolist.txt");
loadText.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
var listArray = loadText.listdata.split(','), i; //split the content of txt file into an array
for (i=0; i<listArray.length; i++) {
list.addItem(listArray*); //pass the values stored in the array to the listbox
}
} else {
list.addItem("Error loading contents!");
}
};
list.setChangeHandler("myHandler");
function myHandler(component) {
var which = list.getSelectedItem().label;//set which item is selected
var subData = new LoadVars();
subData.load("sublist.txt");
subData.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
contenttb.html = true;
contenttb.htmlText = this[which];//search the txt file for the correspondent info
imgsp.loadScrollContent(which+".jpg");//load correspondent image
} else {
contenttb.text = "Error loading sub data!";
}
};
}
