I’m trying to load some copy from a text file into my flash document. if I use

```auto
loadVariables("text1.txt", this);

```

it works on a layer on the main stage, but when I put the dynamic text field and the code inside a movieclip, it disappears. I mean, I can right click where the text should be and “select all” and “copy” and it’ll paste my text properly, but it’s just now showing up. any ideas?
