I’ve followed the tutorials for loading text from an external source into a Flash MX 2004 file but when I test the following message appears and the text does not load.

" **Warning** Scene=Scene 1, layer=Layer 2, frame=1:Line 1: The identifier ‘loadVars’ will not resolve to built-in object ‘LoadVars’ at runtime.  
loadText = new loadVars();

Total ActionScript Errors: 1 Reported Errors: 1"

Does anyone know what I’ve done wrong or have there been changes to AS in 2004 that I’m missing?
