In the tutorial with that name there is this code:

```auto

on (release) {
    loadText = new loadVars();
    loadText.load("TEXT1.txt");
    loadText.onLoad = function(success) {
        if (success) {
            // trace(success);
            newsBox.html = true;
            newsBox.htmlText = this.myNews;
        }
    };
}

```

What´s the purpose of this part?

```auto

function(success) {
        if (success) { 

```

Is there any chance for “success” to be false?
