hello all… I know that there is quite a lot of external loading discussion going on… but I cannot seem to find a solution to my problem.
I can load an external txt file, and I can get the many variables from it… but, what I want to do is load ONE text document and have the multiple variables populate ONE text field dynamically based on the users choice. The best example I can give is a photo gallery where there is a title of the photo gallery.
I do not want to use XML (yet) but had wanted to understand how to request a changing variable rather than specify exactly which variable I want…
so rather than saying load “variable1” I want to say load “whatVariable” and then define “whatVariable” I want outside of the actual text file loading script.
do I make any sense? probably not… my appologies…maybe this helps:
loadText = new LoadVars();
loadText.load(“infoPacs/” + _root.Section + “.txt”);
loadText.onLoad = function() {
DETAILS.htmlText = this.variable1;
}
-note: the text file is loading great… and loads a different text file based on which section the user is in.
Meanwhile… the loading of the single variable also works… but I want to make it dynamic the way the actual text file load is dynamic.
any help would be great.
