loadVariablesNum() 379

If you want to load variables into a target MovieClip, use loadVariables() instead of

loadVariablesNum().

Example

The following example loads information from a text file called params.txt into the main

Timeline of the SWF at level 2 in Flash Player. The variable names of the text fields must match

the variable names in the params.txt file. The

setInterval() function is used to check the

progress of the data being loaded into the SWF. The script checks for a variable in the params.txt

file named

done.

loadVariablesNum("params.txt", 2);

function checkParamsLoaded() {

if (_level2.done == undefined) {

trace("not yet.");

} else {

trace("finished loading. killing interval.");

trace("-------------");

for (i in _level2) {

trace(i+": "+_level2[i]);

}

trace("-------------");

clearInterval(param_interval);

}

var param_interval = setInterval(checkParamsLoaded, 100);

// Params.txt includes the following text

var1="hello"&var2="goodbye"&done="done"
