Loadvars and duplicate movie clip question

1

I’m having a couple problems with my news ticker. First, I can’t seem get the vars to load correctly. I would also like to create and array of movieclips, I’m not sure if this is possible, but I would like to have something along the lines of:
newsArray*.movieclip.textfirst.property

I’ve attached to movie and txt file, if anyone can take a look and point me in the right direction, I would greatly appreciate it

Thanks

I’ve never used loadVars or anything before but I think i got it to load your txt file using:

[AS]
var c = new LoadVars();
c.load(“news.txt”);
c.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
// array to hold each of the news objects
trace©;
newsArray = new Array();
for (i=0; i<this.n; i++) {
newsArray* = new Ticker(Stage.width, Stage.height);
newsArray*.newsMsg.html = this[“item”+i];
}
} else {
trace(“Error”);
}
};
[/AS]

I didn’t change your array stuff since i’m not too sure what you actually want with it

thanks alot, that did fix the loadvars problem.

Now atleast I can try to figure out how this array will work. I’m not sure I can explain it very well, but here goes:

I would like an array of Ticker objects, and in each of those objects, I would like one of the movieclips in the time line [ticker]. Problem is I’m not sure how to add the movieclip itself to the object.

Let me know if anyone has any ideas on where to start, or a related tutorial would be great!
