Pennywise
In Armed Assault, the 'loadfile' command must be preceded by the 'compile' command to work.
Ex OFP 1.96: _falarmEvent = loadfile ("syswarn\falarmEvent.sqf")
Ex ArmA 1.0: _falarmEvent = compile loadfile ("syswarn\falarmEvent.sqf")

Tactii
The note by Pennywise is not entirely accurate. loadFile only needs to be preceded with compile when loading code (for example, a function contained in an .sqf file). Using loadFile without compile will return a string, which, in some cases, is exactly what you want.

Please note that any comment you have within the file you load will be included, to get around that use preprocessFile instead.
