ive read the tutorials and searched the forums but i still need some help. im trying to read data from a text file here ([http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/data/realtime2/41035.spec](http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/data/realtime2/41035.spec)) what i cant figure out is how to call each value to its own dynamic text field.  
YYYY MM DD hh mm H0 SwH SwP WWH WWP SwD WWD STEEPNESS AVP MWD  
2006 12 10 00 00 0.3 0.3 6.2 0.1 3.2 ESE SE N/A 6.1 110  
2006 12 09 23 00 0.3 0.3 9.1 0.1 3.6 SE SE N/A 6.2 134  
2006 12 09 22 00 0.3 0.3 9.1 0.1 3.6 SE ESE N/A 6.2 125  
2006 12 09 21 00 0.3 0.3 7.1 0.1 3.4 ESE ESE N/A 5.9 119

i want to read the latest SwH and SwP and SwD readings into a flash movie.  
how do i call those into the field?
