Hi all,  
i wanna make a duplicate movie clip using txt file. And i’m using loadVariables function. And here is my code:

this.createEmptyMovieClip(“target\_mc”, this.getNextHighestDepth());  
target\_mc.loadVariables(“number.txt”);  
m = target\_mc.num;  
for(j=0; j\<m; j++){  
duplicateMovieClip(“btn”, “btn”+j, this.getNextHighestDepth());  
\_root[“btn”+j].\_y = \_root.btn.\_height + \_root[“btn”+j].\_y + 1;  
}  
and this code didn’t work. So what’s my problem?

number.txt file contains : &num=5  
And sorry about my poor english skill.
