I don´t fully understand your question.

Do you have to have different variables in the same textfile?

yes friend,
i need almost 10 variables in one text file. i have no problem with multiple variables in one text file. all the variables are available in the main timeline but its not reaching the inner movieclips.;(

Ok I´ve never handled multuple variables in one textfield.

So the varibles don´t reach the MC or is it a loaded swf?

And your using loadVar right? Then you should just have to specify wich level och target to load the variables into.

i.e

If your swf is loaded into level 2 of your mainmovie:

[AS]loadVariablesNum(“textfile.txt”, 2);[/AS]

or into a target called container

[AS]loadVariables(“loadtxt.txt”, “container”);[/AS]

If it is an MC in your mainmovie that should get the variables call them from the MC and use the target comand _this

?[AS]loadVariables(“textfile.txt”, “_this”);[/AS]

Seems to be to easy but maybe that´s not what your looking for? Could you post your fla.
