Link to external text file

[oddball]

New to Director, but need to create a Director project that will effectivley be a template that references a series of files on starting, to provide the content. These files will be of the following type:

Graphic file (eg .bmp)
Text
Movie Clip (.mpg)

This will allow the end user to change the content by merely changing the key files. Think this is possible for the last two using the link to external file.

However i notice in Director help its not supported for text files, they automatically get included internally.

Am i going about this right, and how can i achieve this for text,


cheers,

si

Use the fileIO Xtra, it is used for writing and reading text files. There are a few good tutorials at

that you can use to help you out.
