flash actionscript: The following script,

loadText = new LoadVars();
loadText.load("contents/data4.txt");
//creating the loadVarsText function
loadText.onLoad = function() {
title.htmlText = this.title;
content.htmlText = this.content;
};
works when used on the main timeline. But when I place it in a movie the text
isn't visible. The scroll bar works the length of the document ,at least I
assume. Any suggestions?

you have an incorrect path to your textfields when you place that code in a
movieclip. to remedy, try:

loadText = new LoadVars();
loadText.load("contents/data4.txt");
//creating the loadVarsText function
loadText.onLoad = function() {
_root.title.htmlText = this.title;
_root.content.htmlText = this.content;
};
