<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I am attempting to load some external
content into a Xerte project but I'm having difficulty getting this to
work when the content itself gets data from an external file.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">The project uses a custom interface
and contains a couple of graphics icons together with a number of
flex style accordian panes, listitems and tabs. Selecting the appropriate
combination should load the required external content into the graphic
icons using the loadImage() method. e.g. displayGraphic.loadImage(FileLocation
+ 'Media/Pane1/Graphics.swf')</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">The external content is always in the
form of an .swf file however there are two distinct types. </font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">One contains a number of scenes that
are linked by some actionscript. All the graphics are contained within
the .swf and this type of file loads and operates without issue.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">The second type contains only a single
dynamic text block together with a ScrollPane component. The timeline contains
the following ActionScript to load the text from a plaintext file at runtime:</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 color=blue face="sans-serif">myData = new LoadVars();</font>
<br><font size=2 color=blue face="sans-serif">myData.onLoad = function(success){</font>
<br><font size=2 color=blue face="sans-serif">
if (success) {</font>
<br><font size=2 color=blue face="sans-serif">
myText_txt.htmlText = this.text;</font>
<br><font size=2 color=blue face="sans-serif">
} else {</font>
<br><font size=2 color=blue face="sans-serif">
myText_txt.htmlText = "<b>Flash
has failed to load the text file!<b>";</font>
<br><font size=2 color=blue face="sans-serif">
}</font>
<br><font size=2 color=blue face="sans-serif">};</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 color=blue face="sans-serif">myData.load("Overview.txt");</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Overview.txt is located in the same
directory as the .swf and is in the form "text=Required text etc.
etc. etc..."</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">When I test the .swf, it loads and displays
the content of Overview.txt as expected, however when I try to get Xerte
to load this file I get the "Flash has failed to load the text file!"
message.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Displaying text from an external source
file is going to be a major part of this project so I need to get this
to work.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Being an Authorware refugee, I'm only
just getting started with Flash and Xerte so would appreciate any help!</font>
<br>
