External text file with Flash in PowerPoint

[emhdave]

Hi,

I'm having trouble getting text to load into a flash movie when it has been inserted into powerpoint using the Toolbox method.

Basically, when the flash movie loads, it should be displaying text that is loaded in from and external text file.

When the movie is loaded into powerpoint the text fails to be loaded in. I can set the text manually using the FlashVar attribute, but this only allows about 50 characters, which is not enough.

Can someone please help me by telling me how to load the text in properly? I'm thinking it probably has something to do with the base setting.

Thanks.

Welcome Dave,

Are you using XaraXtreme to create your swf file or are you using Flash?

At the moment, I'm using flash...
