I would like to load an external .txt file into flash. I would also like the text to contain HTML formatting, ie. <a> <li> etc. Here’s an example of what I’m currently trying:
In the .txt file, I have the following:
&header=Here is my header
&one=This is where the first set of text would go
&two=This is where the second set of text would go, with a <a href=“http://www.kirupaforum.com”>link</a> right here.
In the .fla file, I have three dynamic text fields with “Render text as HTML” selected. In a movie clip on the main timeline, I have the following actionscript:
var mainVars = new LoadVars();
mainVars.onLoad = function(loaded) {
if(loaded) {
_parent.contentText.heading.text = this.heading;
_parent.contentText.theText1.text = this.one;
_parent.contentText.theText2.text = this.two;
for(items in this) {
trace("item: "+items);
}
}
else {
trace(“Nope, didn’t work”);
}
}
mainVars.load(“text/productsText.txt”);
stop();
When I preview the movie, the text fields come up as undefined. I could use some help!
