Not sure if this is what you are after but you can create an array from the text file.
in your.txt -
&txtString=Betty,John,Neil,Dana,Travis&
lv = new LoadVars();
lv.onLoad = function(){
myArray = lv.txtString.split(“,”);
for(var n=0; n != myArray.length; n++){
trace(“myArray[”+n+"] - "+myArray[n]);
}
};
lv.load(“your.txt”);
