One more time: Loading Arrays from a .txt

programming flash
1

Did a search on this. Found 26 articles. Read through most of them and still couldn’t find the answers. Tried hacking them to my particular needs but still couldn’t get it right. :slight_smile:

I’d like to load arrays from a .txt file. This data will then be used to dynamically pick images and give info about them.

I’m setting up the array as [name,title,thumb,image,link]. Here is a variable from my artist.txt file (guessing on the formatting):

artist1=“Joe Schmoe,Work Of Art,joe_sm.jpg,joe.jpg,http://www.joe.com”

Here is the actionscript code (once again, guessing):

loader = new LoadVars();
loader.onLoad = function() {
_root.importedArray = this.arrayString.split(",");
};
loader.load(“artist.txt”);
name = artist1[0];
title = artist1[1];
thumb = artist1[2];
image = artist1[3];
link = artist1[4];

Any help would be greatly appreciated. :slight_smile:

Thanks,
Lex
