How to load variables from textfile into Array?

[aribert888]

My array is loading images and it does. It is situated on the timeline:

_root.num=0;
_root.arrayname=new Array(‘image1’,’image2’,’image3’);

Instead of feeding the array with these variables I have created a textfield from which the ar-ray should get its variables.

It is called: ‘text1.txt’

As the textfield contains the variables I wrote in it:

num.field1=’image1’,’image2,’image3’

Now I tried everything to make the array get its variables from the textfield, but it does not work.

For instance I tried:

situating the script on the holder:

onClipEvent(enterFrame){
_root.loadVariables('tex1.txt',0);
_root.code=_root.num.field1;
}

and situating the script on the timeline:

_root.num=0;
_root.arrayname=new Array(code);

This as well as other scripts I tried don’t work.
I would be very glad if somebody would help me with a solution.

code ought to be on main timeline and textfile should be like

&var1=image1&
&var2=image2&

or and vars=image1,image2, etc and then use split to get them into an array.
