Question

I have this code in as2, it works great, but I need to adapt it to flash5
myName is the variable asociated to a dinamic text on the flash, it shows the hello but never the good bye even if I comment the line myName=”hello”;
how can I replicate this to work on flash 5?

myName="hello";
myVars = new LoadVars();
myVars.load("getScores.php");
myVars.onData = function(raw) {
   myName="good bye";
}

Answer 1

LoadVars is a class of Actionscript 2.0 so it is not supported in Flash 5.
You should use instead the loadVariables method of Actionscript 1.0 and using a code such as

onClipEvent(load){
    this.loadVariables("file.txt");
}
onClipEvent(data){
    test = "variable: " + variable;
} 

with this code the data event is fired after variables loading. You must put this code on a movieclip instance (not on timeline).
