flash actionscript: I want to use several buttons to load different text into a single textbox. I
created an .html document with several variables separated by an "&". How can I
assign a different variable to the text box depending on which button is
pressed?

myBtn1.onRelease = function(){
mytextfield.text = variable1;
}

myBtn2.onRelease = function(){
mytextfield.text = variable2;
}

To set text dynamically into textfields, you only need the instancename of
the field and its .text or .htmlText property. So indeed no need for a
variablenam in the properties panel. In the code provided, we're talking
instancename.

Sorry, I edited my last question, but apparently not before you had replied. Now what I'm wondering is if I can use this method to load text with html formatting.

Text is text to flash whether it contains HTML-tags or not. The only thing
you change is that u use the .htmlText property instead of the .text
property to get HTML-rendered text in the textfield.
