I used a sample in loading text file from the flash samples.  
I wanted to load a .C file (turbo c file), which is editable and readable as text. While i have successfully done it, it only shows the loaded text in the .fla but not in .swf  
I am using flash 8 AS2

var my\_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();  
my\_lv.onData = function(src:String) {  
if (src == undefined) {  
trace(“Error loading content.”);  
return;  
}  
my\_txt.text = src;  
};  
my\_lv.load(“c://flash/ACT2.C”, my\_lv, “GET”);

Your help is very much appreciated
