help me modify AS

[Neo-Geo]

i used this AS to load external text (load on its own)

loadTexts = new loadVars();
loadTexts.load("speaknote.txt");
loadTexts.onLoad = function() {
textBox.text = this.speaknote;
};


how can i modify this AS so that it will load when i press a button

i try to change it to this


loadTexts = new loadVars();
loadTexts.load("speaknote.txt");
buttonToLoad.onPress = function() {
textBox.text = this.speaknote;
};


whats wrong with this AS, why it wont work?

function loadText() {
loadTexts = new loadVars();
loadTexts.load("speaknote.txt");
loadTexts.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
textBox.text = this.speaknote;
} else {
textBox.text = "Error loading data";
}
};
}
buttonToLoad.onPress = loadText;

[claudio]

Weird... It should work. :-\

[Neo-Geo]

loadTexts.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
textBox.text = this.speaknote;

doesnt this part show that if the frame is load
the the text will appear?
