I am showing variable coming from database and it displays well when the dynamic text is placed at main scene. however, if I place my dynamic text inside a movie clip, the variable is not displayed.

Not sure if this one is helping but I tried placing on the frame of my movieclip where I want it displayed

```auto
myvar_id = _root.myvar_id;

```

Any idea?
