Ok hopefully i can explain this to you guys understanding…

I am wanting to creat a powerpoint type presentation (although im useing flash for the obvious reasons… coolness). I want to make it where whenever the movie loops the Dynamic Text box’s variable changes, so here is what i did: (i dont think the syntax is correct for flash, please correct my sytax to work properly w/ flash)

loadVariables(“text.txt”, this);

var = 0;

if(var==0) {

textbox\_var = text\_1; /_HERE IS THE MISSING COMMAND_/  
var++;  
}

if(var==1) {  
textbox\_var = text\_1; /_HERE IS THE MISSING COMMAND_/  
var++;  
}  
… and so on

ok as you can see i need to know how to assign a new variable to the text box whenever it loops (the vars such as “text\_1” will be defined in the text file. Hope you guys understand what may be giberish lol thanx!

Rid?
