Ok, we’ve all loaded text into a movie clip using LoadVarNum, right? Simple, right??
Well then why is that when I create a movie clip (news.swf) that is loaded from a parent clip (main.swf) the text doesn’t show up???
You can see this for yourself at [http://www.craigmoritz.com/news.swf](http://www.craigmoritz.com/news.swf) where the dynamic text loading clearly is working…but then go to the main clip where this same news MC is being loaded:
[http://www.craigmoritz.com/main.swf](http://www.craigmoritz.com/main.swf) and you can see nothing! nothing!? grrr.
Fla files available at [http://www.craigmoritz.com/news.fla and [url=“http://www.craigmoritz.com/main.fla”]http://www.craigmoritz.com/main.fla](http://www.craigmoritz.com/news.fla)

That happens because the path to the object changes after you load the news.swf into the main.swf
Try the following code instead:
```auto
this.loadVariables("news.txt", "news1");
```
