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.text = this[which];//search the txt file for the correspondent info  
imgsp.loadScrollContent(which+".jpg");//load correspondent image
