Hi all.

At the moment im in a bit of a pickle. I am trying to create a dynamic menu function for a new project. I am having a problem loading dynamic text into a movie. My movie clip instance is “Index Menu”, with a dynamic text box targeting var “index”

My AS is on the main scene with the following

loadVariables(“menu.txt”, “Index Menu, index”);

and the variable im targeting in my txt document is  
[size=2]&index=Index  
When I go to preview all i get in place of the text box is  
“\_level0.instance1.index”  
Does anyone know what i can do about this??

Many thanks
