The "Problem" is that I want to link my text file in my swf. so all i have to do to change the content is to type in the txt file and it will be updated on the swf. That is the problem.

So does anyone know how to externaly link a file (in my case a .TXT file)?

Or do I have to go through the whole concept of what externaly linking is.

loadVariablesNum("test.txt",0)

have the text file variable named var1

and in the text file the first line has to be var1= then whatever you want after that
