Populating a combo box in mx 04

Hi,
I want to populate the options that appear in a combo component from an external text file. How to go about doing it ?..

The txt for the file is…

[“Option 1”,“Option 2”,“Option 3”,“Option 4”,“Option 5”]

This has to come inside the combo…i tried to give it like this…


combo.addItem(loadVariablesNum("mydata.txt",0));

which didn’t work. Should i have a function where i strip out the commas, quotes etc ? an then assign them ?..please advise…
