Hi Filip,

Welcome to WebMasterWorld! Linking to personal sites and files is against the TOS [webmasterworld.com] here, and I reckon that a Moderator will be along shortly to remove it. Reading Paynt's article for people new to WebmasterWorld [webmasterworld.com] is a must!

With regards to your question, maybe if you post up the ActionScript that you are using, it may help people to figure out where your problem is. Quick question: Is the variable (in the textfile) that you are trying to call the same as the one in your ActionScript?

[filip]

the action script is:
loadVariablesNum("index.txt", 0);
and the content of index.txt is:

stiri=<a href="http://www.example.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=2261&mode=&order=0&thold=0" target="_blank">Some news text</a><br>

Is the instance of the dynamic text area are that you are loading the variable into also called stiri?

[dhdweb]

Every time you put "&" Flash will think it is a new var.

I also don't belive that what you are trying to do can be done this way.

What version of Flash are you using?

[filip]

so:
the dynamic text area is called stiri.. it works with a simple text like "hello world" but when I put something like
stiri=<a href="http://www.exmple.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=2261&mode=&order=0&thold=0" target="_blank">Some news text</a><br>

Is it any way to make it work because i can't remove the "&"
I am using flash 5.. Anyone can help me please..??

[korkus2000]

have you tried using "%26" to replace the "&" in the variable?

here is a page I found at macromedia that may help.

[filip]

in my case i can't do this because the file index.txt will be generated from a database of php Nuke. in anyone has another solution..

[Filipe]

You can probably tweak phpNuke to create the output you want. Need to know PHP though.

(By the way, nice name filip)
