I have two videos I want to play, one video will always play and the other will
play depending on the time. I would like to store the time information in an
external file. I'd to have it setup so It will play from 9:00am to 9:30am then
after 9:30 it will go back to the default or main video.

This information has to be in an external file so the receptionist can change
the times, daily.

Is there away to set it up like this. In the text file there is one variable.
var=sometime for video_2 e.g.(9am-10am)

In the .fla file there are 2 frames, frame one with video_1 and frame 2 with
video_2. By default video_1 would play unless it's the time specified range in
the text file, then it would go to frame 2 and play video_2.

Maybe this will help...
