flash actionscript: I have a huge project that I need to accomplish ASAP, that being said, I have
run into a little trouble. How can I have a comboBox (listing peoples names)
import numerous external text files (emailinfo.txt, biography.txt,
contactinfo.txt, etc.) as well as have the same selection load in a graphic
from external SWF's?

Not only that, If I could save the above file as an SWF, will I be able to
load it into another SWF file and run the comboBox, and have the comboBox
function as if it was a "stand-alone" SWF?

I have been trying so hard to do this. I can make it run without problems by
itself, but once I load it into another document via a placeHolder, the
comboBox drops down perfectly, but none of the external data is populating the
dynamic text boxes or fields, etc.

I really need help here. Thanks in advance.

I am running MX2004 Pro by the way.

Due to stupidity beyond my control, I cannot currently test this in my MX2004
Pro but it sounds like a path problem since it works correctly in its main
timeline but not as a movie clip. Your selection from the combox can do as many
things as you script in its event handler so yes it can load multiple files. If
you give some symmetry as to how you name these external files, you can save
yourself a lot of work in scripting. I'll try to recover from my stupidity
shortly and test this.
