i’m trying to produce a one frame random quote field
i have a dyn text field “quotebox” with the var of “quotefield”
rn=random(10);
loadText=new loadVars();
loadText.load(“quotes.txt”);
quotern=[“quote”+rn];
loadText.onLoad=function() {
quotefield.text=quotern;
};
that’s what i have for code
on the qoutes.txt file i have quote1-quote10 listed
i can get the quotern to display in the text field but can’t get the quotes in the text field unless i do this
loadText.onLoad=function() {
quotefield.text=quote10;
add the quote# to the code
which then displays the quote
if anyone has any ideas
thanks

You use quotefield.text, so you’re not using it’s variable. Give the textfield the instance name quotefield. Then try this:
[AS]
loadText=new loadVars();
loadText.load(“quotes.txt”);
loadText.onLoad=function() {
rn=random(10);
quotefield.text=this[“quote”+Math.floor(Math.round(rn)+1)];
};
[/AS]
Forgot to round

ok how about this
what if i wanted to add a next button to the movie
_root.next.onPress=function(){
quotefield.text=this[“quote”+Math.floor(Math.round(rn)+1)];
}
is that what i’d use
cause it’s not pulling any text at all with this

[AS]var index = 1;
next.onPress = function() {
quotefield.text = loadText[“quote”+index++];
}[/AS]
That’s the idea…
