Hello,  
I’ve got a question about the path of the txt file

I can easily load a txt file in a movie if the txt is in the same folder as de .swf,

but when i try to load a txt file from a different level  
for Example projects/com/1.txt i dídn’t see any txt

the code is:  
**loadVariablesNum(projects/com/1.txt,0)**

i know the code is wrong, but can somebody tell me what i have to do to get a txt form a different level.

thanks anyway,  
Jean-Paul

i have noticed that if you are loading from a different folder then you sometimes need to include the entire path for the txt file

[AS]loadVariablesNum(“[http://www.mr-happypants.com/happy/text.txt](http://www.mr-happypants.com/happy/text.txt)”, 1);[/AS]

and don’t forget the quotes…
