flash (macromedia): I have created a movie that contains a dynamic text box with a linked .txt
file. there are two buttons for scrolling the text. I published the movie
and it works great. when I load it into another movie using loadMovie (into
a target MC) it loads fine the buttons apear but, the .txt file does not
load.

what am I missing?

TIA

You're missing your script so we can see how you are doing it ;)

It could be something like you loading your variables into the _root in the
movie .. so when you load it into a clip in the other movie, the variable
load to the 'wrong' place.

But, without seeing your code (the code that both loads the movie, and the
code in the loaded movie that loads the text), we're just making wild
guesses .. not a terribly productive way to do things :)

In Parent movie: home.swf at frame 44 where empty MC target (mainMovie)
appears

button script to load child movie:

on (release) {
loadMovie("MenuSpaPkgs.swf", "_root.mainMovie");
}


in child movie menuspapkgs.swf

frame 1 script is:

the loadVariablesNum will be loading into the root of the loadING movie,
instead of the loadED movie .. so you may not be seeing the data .. it all
depends on how you access it
