Hi,

you could use a delimeter character to separate out the pieces of data 
(use something that won't get used in the data) then in flash, once you've 
made sure that the textfile is loaded, you can use,

myArray = myVariable.split("delimeter_character");

alternatively, is there any reason why the variables can't be created 
separately in the textfile,

myVariable1=data1&myVariable2=data2&myVariable3=data3&

so flash doesn't have to do anything to put the data into different 
variables since the data already arrives like it.
