Loading Dynamic Text On server

[l9Ul]

*Action in first frame:
====================
loadText = new loadVars();
loadText.load("LINK.txt");
loadText.onLoad = function()
{
_root.INFO.htmlText = this.LINK1;
};
stop();
====================
*text loads okay

*Action in a movie clip:
====================
on (release)
{
_root.gotoAndStop(2);
}

on (rollOver)
{
loadText = new loadVars();
loadText.load("LINK.TXT");
loadText.onLoad = function()
{
_root.INFO.htmlText = this.LINK1;
};
}
====================
*On mouseover, the dynamic text doesn't load and the text loaded before (from frame 1 action) dissapears...

not sure if u really can do that!!

[Dravos]

?? Can u not, i must be thinking of something else, just ignore that last comment then!!

Just looked at the actionscript dictionaryt


<B>Usage</B>


loadVariables ("url" ,level/"target" [, variables])

so it should be able to handle


loadText.load("LINK.txt", _root);

[h88]

look again at the mx reference:

LoadVars.load

Availability

Flash Player 6.

Usage

myLoadVars.load.(url)

Parameters

url The URL from which to download the variables.

Returns

A string.

Description

Method; downloads variables from the specified URL, parses the variable data, and places the resulting variables into loadVarsObject. Any properties in loadVarsObject with the same names as downloaded variables are overwritten. Any properties in loadVarsObject with different names than downloaded variables are not deleted. This is an asynchronous action.

The downloaded data must be in the MIME content type application/x-www-urlform-encoded. This is the same format used by loadVariables.

This method is similar to the XML.load method of the XML object

Button code would be:

aaa.onRelease = function(){
_root.gotoAndPlay(2);
}

Still the same problem...

I included the code...if u still wanna take a look at it...

Try running the swf off u'r HD then try running the one i uploaded on to http://9unet.hypermart.net/
u'll see the difference....(the rollover doesn't work anymore)....
Thanks again for u'r reply

on (rollOver) {
loadText = new loadVars();
loadText.load("LINK.TXT");
loadText.onLoad = function() {
_root.INFO.htmlText = _root.loadText.LINK1; //<<<<<
};
}

"_root.loadText.LINK1"
instead of
"this.LINK1"

:rambo:

[h88]

:P, forgot to add _root, some silly ....... :P :P

Arh more problem...
looks to me that the text file is reloaded everytime when a rollover event occurs....which cause a long delay(server is slow?)...

that doesn't happen offline....geezzz ...why can't the stuff i do offline be exactly the same as online...

wut can i do to solve this? preloaders? dl all the textfile on the client's pc first? if i do that how do i link to those files?

:(

[h88]

y dont u just load ur textfiles Once!
