I need sooooo much help loading text files (.txt). Here is what the text files says:

```php
myVar=Succesful

```

and my script (in the frame)

[AS]var data = new LoadVars();  
data.load(“loadtest.txt”);  
data.onLoad = function(loaded) {  
if (loaded) {  
\_root.dynamicText = this.myVar;  
} else {  
\_root.dynamicText = “Error loading data”;  
}  
}[/AS]  
It dusnt wrk. Do I have to host the file as .php. Do I even have to host it? or can I load it from a direct file (from my PC)
