Re: FLASH: Load Movie using variable

[Corstiaan Smorenburg]

Hi,


I thought I'd share a simple trick I use for the problem of delay when

loading variables form textfiles. I set up four frames as you would in a

loading sequence, so:


FRAME 1, label "load":

Load Variables ("variables.txt",0)


FRAME 2, label "loop":

If (EOF = 1)

      Go to and Play ("read")

End If


FRAME 3:

Go to and Play ("loop")


FRAME 4, label "read":

--> your regular movie starts here


And I end all my textfiles (with variables) with: "&EOF=1"

EOF standing for End Of File, it's a programming term.

So, the movie doesn't continue until the file is read and 'EOF' is set to 1.


Hope this helps..


Corstiaan.
