Re: FLASH: Random quotes from text file.

[Nathan Dicken]

If you have say, three quotes, your text file could look something like this...


&quoteCount=3&

&quote1=This is quote number 1&

&quote2=This is quote number 2&

&quote3=This is quote number 3&


What you'd need to do is bring these variables into Flash with the Load

Variables command.  You'd need to have an editable text field with a

variable that you'd set from this data.  In this case the text field

variable is "quote" and "rNum" is a random variable set...


Set Variable: "rNum" = random(quoteCount)+1

Set Variable: "quote" = eval("quote"&rNum)


Hope that helps...
