Im new to placing external data into Flash. I just got CS3 and Im trying to use
Flash to dynamically load XML data via a FlashVars call in the HTML.

The problem is I have followed the very straight forward AS2 Help files for
using FlashVars and URL variables.  I have placed the code directly from the
Help file into the Html between <noscript> <noscript>and i keep getting
undefined. I have tried saving the file as flash 8 and i am publish flash 8. I
have no idea why this simple tutorial isnt working! Please help and thanks in
advance!!!! :embarrassment; I feel like such a noob.

--AS 2.0--Layer 1, Frame 1
this.createTextField("my_txt", 10, 10, 10, 100, 21);
my_txt.text = _level0.username;
