This may be an old question, and I have tried searching for it, but unsuccessfully. I would like to load a string of text from an external text file and turn it into and array. All fine. But when I try accessing the array outside of the function to check whether its loaded I can't do it (even though by the time its being accessed it would have been loaded. I might not be being very clear, so I could post a file if that would help.


So this works... i.e. it traces my array okay:

Code:

var scope:MovieClip = this;
var arr:Array = new Array();
var myLoadData:LoadVars = new LoadVars();

myLoadData.load( "posters.txt" );
myLoadData.onData = function( success )
{
	
		scope.arr = success.split( ",");
 trace(arr)

    }

but what do I do when say I want a title on screen to read to be say, entry 3 in the loaded array... i don't want to have to put all of my script inside the "myLoadData.onData = function( success )".

Am I making any sense?!! Any help or useful links most welcome.

Cheers.
