Hi,  
how do i get the let the dynamic text box inside the movie clip to display the string?  
currently i have a movieclip called newblock\_mc with linkage inside the library, the variable name for the dynamic box is cy\_block.  
and my script (on a frame) is:

cy\_block = cy\_break\_array1[1];  
attachMovie(“newblock\_mc”,cy\_block,2);

so why doesn’t the dynamic box in the movie clip display the string, cy\_block?  
if u need to know… cy\_block contain chinese characters.  
I placed a dynamic text box on the stage, and it is able to display the chinese words in cy\_block, only the one embedded in the movie clip couldn’t. ☹
