this doesnt work?

3

you forgot that you need the “&” between variables… so you would need this…

text1=This is text1
&text2=This is text2

4

It doesn’t load the text2 variable
text.txt =
text1=any text[enter]
text2=any text[enter]
closed and saved file, it only load text1 var
I’m using flash mx 2004

what should i do?

5

doesnt work at all.

6

Put it all on one line:
text1=This is text1&text2=This is text2

7

to make it work you have to write “text1” in the “var” field in the properties of text1 field and so on with text2

8

I’ve tried it, nothing wrong with the code. It works!!!

9

Nothing wrong with the code.
But it only works if you take the advice of bothe silverdeath and Kristoff.

10

The text wont appear, i also tried to take the advise of silverdeath.

11

No, that won’t work. The text in the file needs to be.

&text1=This is text1
&text2=This is text2

12

any idea how to do a line break?

If you 'd search the Help docs that come with Flash, you’d have your answer.

A carriage return is
A new Line is \
