Hi,

I had a question about loading external variables. Is it possible to load external variables from a different server other than the one that the flash site is hosted on?

And if so, what would that command look like?

For instance, if you load a variable from the site’s own server it might look like this;

loadText.load(“TEXT1.txt”);

Would loading it from a different server look something like this;

loadText.load(“[http://www.kirupaforum.com/TEXT1.txt](http://www.kirupaforum.com/TEXT1.txt)”);

Thanks for any help you can give me!
