I am having a hard time making this work- I created a movie clip with two dynamic fields that read from a .txt file on a server. The text fields work when the actionscript and dynamic text fields are on the _root level.
As soon as I move the dynamic fields (and the loadVariableNum command) from the _root level to a movie clip, the dynamic fields no longer retrieve the information. After doing some reading I tried setting the level from “0” to “1” but that didn’t make a difference.
My question is this- do I have to have the loadVariableNum("…/text.txt", “0”) on the _root level or can I have this command residing inside of the movie clip??
I hope this question isn’t too basic and I’m sure it’s probably something VERY simple that I’m overlooking.
I need these dynamic text fields to reside inside a movie clip (nested) for a specific reasons.
(I hope I’m making sense after messing with this for several hours with trying to figure this out).
For every second lost, I lose yet another strand of hair!
