[left]What I am trying to accomplish, and not having a very easy time doing, is something I hope you can help with.[/left]

I have a keyframe on frame 1. The frame has an action script of: loadVariablesNum (“news.txt”,0") to load text into a text block. Later on in the same layer, I needed to make my text block apart of a movieclip. Now, the text is loaded into the text block all the way up until it turns into a move clip in the timeline… Well, I consulted my friend on it, and he told me to do this: loadVariablesNum (“news.txt”,_root.clipname) basically, he told me to name my movieclip, and put the name of it in there. so I named my movie clip “clip” and tried it this way: loadVariablesNum (“news.txt”,_root.clip) but that doesn’t seem to be working either.
So, my question is, does anyone know how I can load my text into a movie clip like that?
Is it a problem with kirupa’s board that displays “0 views” in the file I took the time to give you as an example, or you didn’t even bother to look at it and went to “anyone else?” straight away?
Because if this is so, as people here help for free, and just because they want to, it’s not nice to get an answer like yours, and you won’t get much help this way.
This is your first post, and I hope you can improve the way you show your gratitute in future posts, even if the person who tried to help you didn’t help you exactly the way you wanted.
If you only get one answer, and that was not what you were expecting, you should consider the possibility that you didn’t post your question properly or clearly.
wow… that was a mouthful. Uhh, first of all, i appreciate your help, and i DID look at the file, and wasn’t really too fond of just copying and pasting action script, I was just wondering if anyone else had a solution to my problem besides you. Think before you run your mouth.
nunomira, chill man. On my computer it says there have been 4 views of the file you posted, and one of those is mine because i was having a similar problem. Your help and everyone else’s help on this board is very much appreciated. Thank you for contributing.
hi TheRealAlan, now it says “4 views”, but it didn’t at the time when I complained about ctbassist’s reply/reaction.
Althogh apreciating other’s help is the spirit of this and other similar forums, I complained because I didn’t think that ctbassist adhered to this very same spirit.
Which becomes obvious in his second reply, which isn’t still polite.
ctbassist, I did think, that’s why I wrote what I wrote, and because I believed you deserved a chance.
I’d just like to suggest, that instead of the “anyone else?” you’d say:
“that’s not exactly what I was looking for…”
“I don’t understand everything, could you explain this and that…”
"I still have a doubt regarding…"
Because me, and probably everyone else, wouldn’t know what else to do/say/suggest in order to help you.
With all this, I don’t know if you still have a doubt, whether your problem is solved or not, what else were you looking for…
Well, I understand the first part of the action script, now I am having trouble loading it into my movie clip, it doesn’t seem to be working for me… what it does, is it loads into the error box my output… would you be willing to elaborate?
Oh, one more thing though, I can load like, just the external file, but what do I do if I want to load more than one file? Like, I want to load a news file, and than a shows file both into my movie clip?
