Actionscript question

[GeeBee2]

I am actionscript neophyte so to speak, I am loading scores from a text file with the following format

filelist=100,95,78,90,80

when attaching this to a button I am not envoking the trace function, nothing happens. This works fine without attaching it to a button--- it doesn't work when adding the onrelase and the closing curly bracket. Any help with syntax would be great.

Thanks




[as]
on (release, keyPress "<Enter>") {
files = new Array();
lv = new LoadVars();
lv.onLoad = function() {
fl = this.filelist;
data = fl.split(",");

for (var i in data) {data = Number(data);}
n = data.length;
myColor= colorHex.slice(0,n);
//gotoAndPlay (2);{

trace(data);

};
lv.load("scores.txt");
}

cant see all you are trying to do...but

on (release, keyPress "<Enter>") {
lv = new LoadVars();
lv.onLoad = function() {
scores = this.filelist.split(",");
for(i=0;i<scores.length;i++)
trace(scores);
};
lv.load("scores.txt");
}

will certainly trace the numbers loaded
