so i have a this movie clip, inside the movie clip i am dynamically loading images into little movie clips and i wanna dynamically load text into text fields in the clip as well. currently i am using this code to load the text into the fields, but it’s not working.

loadText = new LoadVars();  
loadText.load("…/images/news.txt");  
loadText.onLoad = function() {  
myNews.html = true;  
myNews.htmlText = \_root.one.city1;  
};

it is cause i can’t trace a path to a text field like i can a movie clip?
