Alternative to FileAccess to work with HTML5 Export?

Question

I’m using FileAccess to replace content in SVG files to customize cosmetic items before the game starts. Doesn’t work after exporting to html5 though. Are there any alternatives? Here’s the relevant code in my autoload script:

# Load SVG file as text
var svg_path = "res://Assets/Sprites/Spinners/%s.svg" % spinnerName
var file = FileAccess.open(svg_path, FileAccess.READ)  # Correctly instantiate FileAccess
if file:
	var svg_text = file.get_as_text()
	file.close()

	# Replace colors for colorMC0
	for i in range(len(old_colors_mc0)):
		svg_text = svg_text.replace(old_colors_mc0[i], new_colors_mc0[i])
	
	# Replace colors for colorMC1
	for i in range(len(old_colors_mc1)):
		svg_text = svg_text.replace(old_colors_mc1[i], new_colors_mc1[i])

	# Create an ImageTexture from the modified SVG text
	var svg_image = Image.new()
	svg_image.load_svg_from_string(svg_text)  # Load SVG from string

	var image_texture = ImageTexture.create_from_image(svg_image)  # Create ImageTexture from Image
	
	# Set the image texture for the Sprite2D
	var spinner = get_node("/root/Game/Player/Player/Spinner")
	if spinner:
		print("found spinner node")
		spinner.texture = image_texture
	
	print(svg_text)
	if spinner.texture == image_texture:
		print("texture applied")
		var ap3 = get_node("/root/Game/Player/Player/AnimationPlayer3")
		var animation = ap3.get_animation("spinner_%s" % spinnerName)
		var texture_track_index = animation.add_track(Animation.TYPE_VALUE)
		animation.track_set_path(texture_track_index, ".") 
		animation.track_insert_key(texture_track_index, 0, image_texture)

It seems that what you need is the text in the. svg file.
Here’s an idea for you.
You can change the suffix to. txt.
Then use load() to load and see if the text can be obtained.

load() doesn’t seem to load neither SVG or the .txt

EDIT: Changing to .txt actually did work for whatever reason but with FileAccess :o
