I’ve looked at the “Dynamaically Scrolling Text Files” tutorial and found that the way text files were loaded was using
loadText.load(“TextFile.txt”);
but my text file is not located in the same directory as the flash file. I know someone is gonna say, just put the text file into the same directory and ur problem is solved, but the answer i’m looking for is how i could change the path of that line for it to recognize files from other directories.
when i put “Text\TextFile.txt” as the parameter, the code is flagged red with an error.
i didn’t think it would be any more complex, i just thought it would be a simple change of a path … but i guess apparently not …
i’ve tried the slahes different ways … one way would cause the syntax to be wrong and the code would be hilited red, the other way just fails to load anything …
hmm … weird … cuz it’s working now … just as u said … just putting the path in there works … but i’ve tried this all nite last nite and and all morning today … that was time well wasted …
er … not sure if u saw my other thread about listboxes, hope u have some experience with that cuz that’s giving me a lot of trouble. possibly because the listbox tutorials that i’ve found have been kinda confusing to me still …
