It is possible. I’ve used it before on a project for my father. Depending on how you are loading in the variable(s), you have to target the textbox in the button like: ```auto _root.buttoninstance.textboxname = variable ``` Is that what you’re asking? ---

okey Ive tried ur way but it wont load this is my script for loading the text [AS] $lv = new loadVars(); $lv.load(“[http://myhost.nu/get\_text.php?menu=fakta&ruta=fakta\_txt](http://myhost.nu/get_text.php?menu=fakta&ruta=fakta_txt)”) //fakta\_txt is the var and instancename of my txtfield $lv.onLoad = function() { snurr.\_alpha = 0; //never mind this one \_root.daniibut.fakta\_txt = $lv.danii\_ladd } [/AS] I used this names and vars without putting the txtfield in a button and the text is loaded perfectly, so it cant be something wrong with my php script or anything… ---

I’m gonna have to go home and check my code because I don’t have Flash at work. I’ll get it for you. Here’s part of an example of what I did. The text on the buttons is loaded in from a text file with the loadVars method, so that should be the same: [http://www.freddythunder.com/dad/buttons.html](http://www.freddythunder.com/dad/buttons.html) Hang on!! ---

It’s rainy and I’m really tired and at work, so as I was about to fall asleep at work I was thinking of the problem 😛 First, you should take a look at this: [http://www.kirupaforum.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=31032&highlight=loadvars](http://www.kirupaforum.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=31032&highlight=loadvars) This talks about loading vars into an object vs loading them onto the timeline. After looking at your script, it should work. if your button is called ‘daniibut’. I’m still going to have to check that other thing. Is there anyway you can post your fla and PHP? ---
