Flash reading data from text file how to

[alekseis]

Hi im totally new to flash im wondering if is there a way flash can read thru the data inside a text file and store those data in its local memory for later use? any help ,advice tutorials on how to do this would surely help.

im trying to make my C# program to communicate with flash thru the text file. thank you

actionscript goes like

_lv = new LoadVars();
_lv.onLoad = function(){
myVar1 = this.var1;
myVar2 = this.var2;
}
_lv.load("myvars.txt");


myvars.txt will look like

&var1=Bill
&var2=4

wow, thanks for that, im trying to learn both flash and actionscript at the same time, could you please tell me what to focus on? what i need is this:

i will create a program in flash which contains nodes connected with lines, i would like to know a way to reference those nodes.

now every 10 secs my flash checks the text file for the variables coming from C#. the text file is what my flash will reference to know what nodes will change color (properties). then publish this into a jpeg file. everything is automated. no user interaction in flash.

kindly point me to the direction of what material should i study to accomplish this task. thank you.
