Player 6...not Player 7? Doh!

When following this guide** I think it is important to point out that Flash Player 6 should be used.

I banged my head against the wall trying to duplicate the guide, but couldn’t for the life of me. Everything was the same between my version and the guide’s, but still no dice.After consulting many a google searches I thought of checking which player the guide was using. It was using Flash Player 6. I was using Flash Player 7.

When I switched to Flash Player 6 my version worked. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Is it just my 'puter?

Anyways, the point, switch the player to version 6 if you aren’t having luck when using this guide**.

Flash (7) is now case sensitive…

on (release) {
	loadText = new loadVars();
	loadText.load("text1.txt");
	loadText.onLoad = function(success) {
		if (success) {
			newsBox.html = true;
			newsBox.htmlText = this.myNews;
		}
	};
}

The second line should read as follows:

loadText = new LoadVars(); // notice the capital L

And welcome to kirupa forum. =)

even the forum color coding has it wrong :stuck_out_tongue:

…Very funny! :stuck_out_tongue:

I didn’t notice it until you mentioned it. :crazy:
