How do I load a text file into a List Box

[rick1111]

I am using MX and want to load a list of names from a text file into a List box. I now have the names hardcoded in my Action Script with the "list.addItem()".

Any help you can give would be appreciated.

Well, to load the text in as a number of variables, create a text file using the following format:

var1=var1text
&var2=place variable 2 text here
&thirdvariable=this is the third variable

or like this:
var1=var1text&var2=variable 2 text here&thirdvariable=3rd variable&var4=this is fun


then, load the texfile into the flash movie, creating/updating the variables. To load the text file use the following script:

loadVariablesNum("filename.txt", 0);

the zero afterward is the target level to load the variables into.


Hope This Helps!
