If you’re talking about text files, yes. You have to change the loadVars and textbox instance to something unique for each textbox. You can use the same file.txt, but in it you have to seperate each textboxes text with and ‘&’. IE:
kirupatext1=
Hi my name is Freddy
&kirupatext2=
I ride the short bus!
It’s a little confusing at first, but once you get all the seperate variable to match, it works like a charm. I’m sure you have visited the tut, but just in case:
