Hi guys,

anyone know how to do this:

in my dynamic text box i have some text with this for a link:

asfunction:\_root.activate,qs,q1

in the actions layer i have this:

function activate (num) {  
splittedVar = num.split(",");  
trace(splitted[0]);  
trace(splitted[1]);  
\_root.gotoAndPlay(splittedVar[0]);  
}

it goes to and plays “qs” just fine but when i get there i have this in the actions layer and it does not work

Ext\_text = new LoadVars();  
Ext\_text.onLoad = addText;  
Ext\_text.load(“faq.txt”);  
function addText() {  
qtxt.htmlText = this(splittedVar[1]);  
}

i want it to pull the text from under the varible called “q1” from faq.txt, if i replace (splittedVar[1]); with .q1 it works, but this way doesnt, any help would be great!
