Loading external files into Flash 8

1

Well i have used many tutorials on this…and not one will work :’(

This is the code i have been using

loadText.load(“textfile”);
//creating the loadVarsText function
loadText.onLoad = function() {
dynamictextboxname.text = this.the=whatever text in notpad;
};

I have no idea how to load my external text in, i have it all set up. Its all being saved into the same folders etc. But still nothing. Any help? :frowning:

loadText = new LoadVars();
loadText.load("textfile.txt");
loadText.onLoad = function() {
dynamictextboxname.text = this.the;
dynamictextboxname2.text = this.other;
};

textfile.txt:

the=the text in notepad&other=the other text in notepad
