Crazy loadVariablesNum

Can't find my local file?

So I'm using the following:

loadVariablesNum("data.txt",0,"GET");

And get this error when running a test:

Error opening URL "file:///C¦/Documents%20and%20Settings/Administrator/Desktop/SiteCandy/photogallery/data.txt?width=undefined&height=undefined&focusManager=%5Flevel0%2EfocusManager&tabChildren=true&tabEnabled=false"

I have tried placing the flash and files into a directory that doesn't have spaces in the name, but I get the same "Error opening URL" message for the new URL.

What's going on here? Before anyone asks: Yes, I am certain the file is there.

EDIT: I used to be able to use this process on local files with no issue. I can use getURL on the file, and it opens in IE.

I solved this on my own. It looks like my issue was with the "GET" parameter. .TXT files can not receive this parameter. Removing this solved the problem.

All variables available on the current frame will be added to the string when using loadVariablesNum GET/POST. This is because the loadVariables function is ment to "talk" to an application and pull data back responding to some values you deliver. Take for example a login.php script where you need to send out a username and a password, and then receive back a validation variable.

In your case, where you only want to load a text-file with some simple vars in it, you can use this line instead:

loadVariables("data.txt", this);
