ok, so i want to load a txt file from a path that i choose (local on the pc or a network path ).

for example :

on (release) {  
loadText = new loadVars();  
loadText.load(“c:\documents and settings\mc\vil.txt”);  
loadText.onLoad = function(success) {  
if (success) {  
// trace(success);  
newsBox.html = true;  
newsBox.htmlText = this.Info;  
}  
};  
}

or

on (release) {  
loadText = new loadVars();  
loadText.load("\fileserver name\folder\vil.txt");  
loadText.onLoad = function(success) {  
if (success) {  
// trace(success);  
newsBox.html = true;  
newsBox.htmlText = this.Info;  
}  
};  
}

can this be done ? :thumb:
