[Flashcoders] how to read a plain text file

2007-09-07 Thread Andrew Sinning 
In AS2, is it possible to read in a plain text file.  I've used LoadVars 
and XML.load(), but in this instance I want to read all of the data into 
a single variable.  All I can think of is using a php script to url 
encode the text.  I.e. echo ("txt=".urlencode(fread ($file, filesize 
($filename;  But, is there a way to read the file directly into Flash?


Thanks.

Hi,
yep use the onData instead of onLoad for loadvars.
