Hi Reeta,

If I understood your question, the answer is NO.

In order to edit a flash movie (.SWF) you need the .FLA source file which has to be open in Flash itself.

If you are talking about editing an action script specifically, you could edit the code in a notepad, but you'd have to paste it back into your flash movie in order to make it effecticve.

Hope this helps...

Cheers,

thanks bruno,
i mean to say that html code is written in note pad..which will be displayed in flash page/movie..now if you want to change the content of movie...u can change it from notepad...

how to do that?

yes it can be done.
First of all create a .txt file named content.txt
Inside that txt file create the variable = content, example would be:

Code: Select all

&content=Hello

Now make a text field call it content_txt in your flash document.
Add the following code:

Code: Select all

var externalData:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
externalData.onLoad = function(){
content_txt.tect = externalData.content;
}
externalData.load("content.txt");

This makes all data from the content.txt file appear in the flash document at the content_txt field.
