Hi - probably a hugely embarrassing beginner question, but I can’t seem to find an answer anywhere. I think it’s probably (hopefully?) just a syntax problem, so if anyone could point me in the right direction I’d be really grateful.
I’m loading the content of a dynamic text box from an external .txt file and I’m trying to find a way to change the content from a link in the .txt file (if that makes sense).
The code I’m using to change the dynamic text box at the moment is:
myData = new LoadVars();
myData.onLoad = function() {
hometextbox.html = true;
hometextbox.htmlText = this.newstext;
hometextbox.scroll = 0;
if (hometextbox.maxscroll<=hometextbox.scroll) {
_level0.application.form1.upbutton._visible = false;
_level0.application.form1.downbutton._visible = false;
} else if (hometextbox.maxscroll>hometextbox.scroll) {
_level0.application.form1.upbutton._visible = true;
_level0.application.form1.downbutton._visible = true;
}
};
myData.load("Textfile.txt");
and it’s working fine, but I’d like to have a link like
<A HREF="asfunction:MyFunc,contacttext ">Contact</A>
inside my .txt file which changes what is loaded into the dynamic text box.
I thought it might be something like:
function MyFunc(arg){
myData = new LoadVars();
myData.onLoad = function() {
hometextbox.html = true;
hometextbox.htmlText = this[arg];
hometextbox.scroll = 0;
if (hometextbox.maxscroll<=hometextbox.scroll) {
_level0.application.form1.upbutton._visible = false;
_level0.application.form1.downbutton._visible = false;
} else if (hometextbox.maxscroll>hometextbox.scroll) {
_level0.application.form1.upbutton._visible = true;
_level0.application.form1.downbutton._visible = true;
}
};
myData.load("Textfile.txt");
}
but I’ve had no joy. Can anyone tell me what I’m doing wrong?
Cheers!
