Hi everyone!

Im a newbie at Flash and I would really really appreciate any help offered by you guys!=)

Anyways, I am trying to load an array from a text file and display it onto a text field.

This is what i am trying to load:  
test.txt:

&testarray[0].name = “John”;  
&testarray[0].address = “City”;

This is a sample of my code:  
function load\_data () {  
mydata = new LoadVars();  
mydata.load(“test.txt”);  
mydata.onload = function(success) {  
if(success) {  
trace(“Loaded”);  
myArray = new Array ();  
myArray[0] = this.testarray[0].name;  
myArray[1] = this.testarray[1].address;  
textbox1.text = myArray;  
}  
else trace(“error loading”);  
}  
}

Thanks once again for helping me!=)
