[FONT=Tahoma][COLOR=black]OK, I am relatively a Flash “Newb” but I’ve done lots of programming and troubleshooting and this little problem is just driving me crazy. Here’s the scenario…[/COLOR][/FONT]
[COLOR=black][FONT=Tahoma]I am duplicating a movie clip to show menu items in an explorer window type view.[/FONT] Each menu item consists of one line of htmlText read from an external text file in this format:[/COLOR]

The images never show on the third movieclip. it seems to all depend on how many are open. So if I open MC\_A on lvl 100 it’s fine, then MC\_B on 200 it’s fine, then MC\_C on 300 - no pictures. If I open MC\_C directly onto lvl 100 it’s fine. If I open MC\_A on 100 it’s fine then MC\_D on 1000 - no pics again. However if I open MC\_D onto 1000 without MC\_A (B or C) first, it works great.[/FONT]
[FONT=Tahoma]I’ve made sure that each movie clip gets a unique name, so it shouldn’t be a problem with the variables overlapping. Furthermore, if I trace the value it always appears correctly (with the \
