Using Variables from an External Source with Flash's loadVariables()

Moving back to Flash, draw a text box on your stage. For the sake of contrast, I chose black size 48 sans serif text reading "This is my text", just to make the change obvious when the variables adjust it to red size 30 Times New Roman reading "Now my text is loaded by variables." There's little point in changing something to the exact same thing; then you won't be able to tell if it works.
