Use this script:

```php
<?php echo 'buttonIsEnabled=true'; ?>

```

and load it into Flash:

```auto
lv= new LoadVars()
lv.onLoad = function(success) {
if(success) {
_root.prev.enabled = this.buttonIsEnabled
} else {
trace("failed loading file")
}
}
lv.load("myScript.php")

```

I think that should do it 🙂

</div>

use this then:

```php
if (!$DataArray[$n]) {
     Print "<br><br><b>No More entries</b>";
     echo '&buttonIsEnabled=true';
     exit;
   }
}
?>

```

I’m not sure what ‘textfile’ youre talking about, and how does flash read it…
