# I have a little script to play flash movie file. The movie file is in some place else in external server. I tried to read the movie file link from text file(data) using LoadVars, it doesn’t work. Please someone help me what is my script is wrong.

function togglePlay()  
{  
if (this.\_currentframe != 2)  
{  
this.nextFrame();  
myDisplay.pauseVideo();  
}  
else  
{  
this.gotoandstop(1);  
myDisplay.playVideo();  
}  
}  
var myLV = new LoadVars();  
myLV.load(“[clip.txt](http://www.designxtra.net/clients/digitalmedia/clip.txt)”);  
myLV.onLoad = function ()  
{  
vLink = this.link;  
};  
myDisplay.loadVideo(vLink);  
playButton\_mc.onRelease = togglePlay;
