ok so here it is… fairly new to flash and cant work out why this isnt working…

I have a txt file with a variable in it. When a button is clicked the variable is loaded. then I want to load a swf movie depending on what the text is in the variable…

here is my code…

on (release) {  
loadText = new LoadVars();  
loadText.load(“file.txt”);  
loadText.onLoad = function(success) {  
if (success) {  
// trace(success);  
\_root.fileBox = this.myFile;  
}

if (\_root.fileBox == “movie”) {  
loadMovie(“playermovie.swf”, \_root.dummy);  
} else {  
loadMovie(“playerimage.swf”, \_root.dummy);  
}  
};

Any takers!!!

cheers
