loadText = new LoadVars();  
loadText.load(“myTextFile.txt”);  
loadText.onLoad = function(){  
myFlashVariable = this.textVariable;  
}  
create a .txt file called “myTextFile.txt” and inside it type: &textVariable=123 234 321  
the text file has to look like that. no space between equal sign before variable. try this and tell me if it works because I havent test this code.
