somone give me a hand with this…im having trouble getting the proper text to appear in the dynamic text field.  
on the maintimeline i have this  
loadText = new loadVars();  
loadText.load(“stats.txt”);  
loadText.onLoad = function() {  
\_root.main.stats76.season.text = this.season;  
};  
and no matter what it never loads the text into the movie clip main,stats76 then into the text field with the variable name season.  
now for the hell of it i through the text field on the main timline…just to see if the code works… and it did but i manipulated the code to look this way…

loadText = new loadVars();  
loadText.load(“stats.txt”);  
// creating the loadVarsText function  
loadText.onLoad = function() {  
season.text = this.season;  
}; (season is the name of the dynamic textfile…also the instance name just in case;))  
that worked but atlas i need it 2 movieclips deep.🙂 please someone give me a hand on this quick;)

Yes there are some problems about dynamic text.

Also when you mask one, it does not appaers in the mask, do you know why? :elderly:
