    Text effect on multiple objects from external text file

    Hello again
    I am working on an interactive map, the map will contain different countries, each country is a movie. Each time the user click on a county it displays text in a dynamic field using a typewriter effect. (the text is imported from an external text file)


    This is what I have so far:

    var myMessage:Strin g = "";
    myData = new LoadVars();
    a1_mc.onRelease = function(){

    myData.onLoad = function(){
    myMessage = this.a1message;
    };
    myData.load("te xteffect.txt");

    var i:Number = 0;

    function autoWrite():Voi d {
    if (i<=myMessage.l ength) {
    monitor_txt.tex t = myMessage.subst r(0, i)+"█";
    i = i+1;
    } else {
    clearInterval(w ritingInterval) ;
    }
    }
    // calling the function repeatedly with setInterval() method
    var writingInterval :Number = setInterval(aut oWrite, 20);


    }

    now this works Great for the one country “a1_mc”, but I have a lot of them: a1_mc, a2_mc, a3_mc, a4_mc……ect….., for the text it goes the same way: a1message, a2message, a3message….ect… .

    How can I set it up so it displays the right text for each country once clicked?
    Keep in mind that I am using one dynamic field all of them.

    Here is a sample of the project, i just started it so.....
    cick on the top right country/sector of the map to see what i Mean (a1_mc)
