See guys… I have been trying to load this movie I call “profile.swf” into “Main\_Stage\_Movie.swf”… I have dynamic text in “profile.swf” but it doesn’t show up when I load it into “Main\_Stage\_Movie.swf”… This is the code I had been using… loadVariablesNum(“profile.txt”, 0); (profile.txt being the text file I wanted to load…) Someone before said that the path changes when you load a movie externally and suggested this code… this.loadVariables(“profile.txt”, “pro”); //[“pro” being the name of the dynamic text field] I tried that as well… But it still doesn’t work… Please help me out… I need it urgently… I’d be really grateful… -TheLonePhoeniX ---

dynamic text field instance names should be “name.text” etc so yours should be “pro.text” and that probably should work ---

Thanks for the attention but it doesn’t work at all… Cuz previously… With the code I had written… “profile.swf” used to show the text but when it was loaded into “Main\_Stage\_Movie.swf”, it didn’t… Now the text doesn’t show up at all!!! Not even in “profile.swf”… Please find an alternative… ---

Not even in “profile.swf”… Please find an alternative… if you give the textfield a variable name of \_level0.pro and use loadVariablesNum(“profile.txt”, 0); in the main movie(which it is being loaded into), it should work. ---

what name of the mc that act as profile.swf’s container? assume “profile.swf” is loaded into “yourContainer” mc in "Main\_Stage\_Movie.swf" so the new path of the dynamic text is "\_root.yourContainer.yourDynamictext" and try to use loadVars instead of loadVariables ---
