Hi All. This is my first post. I’m working on a project that involves pulling a number from a text file on a remote server. I am familiar with the intricacies of loadVars and loadVariables, but in this particular case, the text file only contains a number. It is not preceeded by a variable name or anything like that. It is just: 40. Is there a way to pull this into flash without a variable name so I can display it in a dynamic text field?

Thanks,  
Haig
