I’ll check out the file, but take a look at that thread if you haven’t already. I explain everything…

in your success statement, add this line if true:


_root.recVars.text = this.recVars

so the whole if statement should look like this:


if (success) {
_root.outputField = "Success!";
_root.recVars.text = this.recVars
} else {
_root.outputField = "Error loading file.";
}

[edit]
hi… again… i had a look at your tut about how to replace the strings… and i gave it a try… i put the function at the start of the script on the main timeline and then i put the
[AS]recVars.replaceS(".:-:.", “”);[/AS]
in the [AS]loadlv.onLoad = function(success) {[/AS] section… under success…

Is that right??

well that was only one way to do it really. and you want to replace that with a <**br> so that it will get to another line…


recVars.replaceS(".:-:.", "<**br>");

And that is still Actionscript, I just used the PHP tags to show the BR.

Play around with it for a while, you’ll find something that will work. :slight_smile:

I don’t get what’s the purpose of the ‘.:-:.’ thing… care to explain =)

the “.:-:.” splits each entry into different sections inside of the text file. That way when you pull the data back (either into php, or Flash) it gives you something to work with. THen you can use split(".:-:.") or whatever to format your individual entries…

[edit]It could be anything really. Its just a string pattern that I picked. That is not something that people will usually enter at random so I picked it… [/edit]

ah… gotcha =)
