in your success statement, add this line if true: ```auto _root.recVars.text = this.recVars ``` so the whole if statement should look like this: ```auto if (success) { _root.outputField = "Success!"; _root.recVars.text = this.recVars } else { _root.outputField = "Error loading file."; } ``` ---

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… ```php 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. 🙂 ---

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] ---
