I have external .txt files that loads information into a defined area. It works fine through testing on my computer. Once uploaded, I’m getting an undefined in the fields where the information should appear.

The link:  
[http://www.shakeyhands.com/BunnyB/gallery01.swf](http://www.shakeyhands.com/BunnyB/gallery01.swf)

Here’s the code i’m using to load the .txt file when a thumbnail is selected:

\*\*imageFrame.thumbSelected = function() {  
showImage(this.imagePath);  
loadText = new LoadVars();  
loadText.load(this.txt);  
loadText.onLoad = function() {  
model.text = this.model;  
colors.text = this.colors;  
sizes.text = this.sizes;  
};  
};  
\*\*  
here’s the line of code I’m using to load the proper .txt file when selected:

**thumbFrame.txt = “Data/gal1/1\_0”+x+".txt";**

Also, got a way to avoid having a browser automatically resize the .swf to it’s size? I want to maintain the actual size of the .swf file because when enlarged, the quality of the images is poor.

Any ideas??? Thanks a ton.
