var urlVariables:URLVariables = new URLVariables(infoTxt.data);
must be
var urlVariables:URLVariables = new URLVariables(evt.target.data);

Very helpful….I was wondering how do you deal with name value pairs in URLVariable. Lets say I have an array of name value pairs.
Thanks

Just a little correction

// Suppose there's a variable ldap inside a txt
//&ldap=blah blah
// Instantiate like myMap:Map = new Map("filename.txt");
 
package {
    import flash.events.*;
    import flash.net.*;
    public class Map {
 
        public function Map(file:String):void {
            var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest(file);
            var infoTxt:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
            infoTxt.dataFormat = URLLoaderDataFormat.TEXT;
            infoTxt.load(url);
            infoTxt.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, readTxtFile);
 
            function readTxtFile( evt:Event ):void {
                var urlVariables:URLVariables = new URLVariables(infoTxt.data);
                //for (var prop:String in urlVariables)
                    trace("Variable ldap: "+urlVariables.ldat);
            }
        }
    }
}
