Flash MX - LoadVars

[BlindFish]

Hi,

I'm something of a Flash Newbie with a bit of programming experience == a dangerous combination

I'm trying to simplify the update of text to be used in a Flash page by externalising it into a text file. I'm having no problem assigning variables from the text file to appear in static elements on my page - so I can obviously get loadVars to work... which is a step in the right direction.

My problem is that I also want to pass the value of some of the imported text to other variables that are then passed as arguments of a function... but I can't seem to find a way to assign the value of the imported variable to a variable within my actionscript... Is this even possible?

Maybe some code would make more sense:

TextData = new LoadVars();
TextData.onLoad = function(){
MainTitle.htmlText = this.maintitle; //static element which works fine
info1 = this.info1; //This assignment works but only to a point

_root.Feedback = info1; // assignment to my Feedback variable works if it appears within the function... but see below...
};

_root.TextData.load("static_text.htm");

_root.Feedback = TextData.info1; // How do I assign it outside the function? I thought this should work but it doesn't..
