How can I import a .txt into Flash?

[Mufanza]

Hi, here's the thing: I will have a lot of big arrays and stuff in my game, but keeping them all in a frame code would be unpractical because of how big they will be.
So I was thinking: can't I just write them into a .txt file, and then use flash to load them from there?
But when I try to import .txt into a library, it has problem reading it.

Does anyone know how can I solve this?

You can use '#include' or 'include' in AS3 to include a piece of script verbatim. Or you can just use a class file to define data in.

Hello!
I don't know which language you use but you could always try:
f.open("nameoffile.txt", "r");
list = f.read()
f.close()

URLLoader. By doing that, you must host your text file if you want to put your flash on the web.
