Adobe edge generated text is not editable with dreamweaver or notepad ++ is there a work around?

Question

How can I enable a client to update there text regularly via code editor on their server (not wysiwyg)? Want to be able to update text that was originally generated within Adobe Edge.
Edge appears to convert the text to some kind of symbol, as when the text is changed in notepad++ the actual text content does not change on the finished file, and only the original text is viewable on the browser.
Is there some way to do this?
With flash it was easy to edit a .txt file via text field var - is there something similar with Edge?
been trying to work this out for several months now.
any working examples would be appreciated.
thanks

Hi alayna,
Here's a link to the example file:

It's pretty straightforward - it's a .js file containing only variables that gets saved in the same directory as the Edge Animate HTML file:
Then add a script tag to the HTML file generated by EA pointing to the path of the .js file:
Finally, add a handler to the Stage creationComplete event, which sets each text field to a separate variable:
That's all there is to it!
hth,
