FLASH:Variables keep reseting!!!

[Aaron Schurman]

High flashers, I am building a file that animates and updates from a text

file.  I have a number of text fields that were converted to symbols (with

the graphic behavior applied) and put into a movie clip.  I have them

animated within the movie clip, not on the main movie timeline, and then

placed on the main timeline.  I am having real troubles getting the

variables to load right.  In order to load the variables I assume the code

is to be written as so:

Load Variables: ("test.txt", "/InstText")

but that wouldn't work, it wouldn't load the variables at all, but through

trial and error I found the only way to get the variables to work was to

create an invisible movie clip with the frame action of:

Load Variables: ("test.txt", "../InstText")

and then place that on the main timeline.  But when I do that it shows the

new variables, and then resets them to the original variables when I make a

Go To command to go to the first frame and start playing again. 


What am I doing wrong, why can't I just put a simple frame action to get the

variables to load, is there some problem with what I am trying to do, please

let me know if I am missing something!!  Thanks a ton!

Aaron
