I’ve created a mp3 player but wen i put it in a movie clip the dynamic text no longer shows up? any one know why? heres the code i’m using…

stop();  
playlist = new XML();  
playlist.ignoreWhite = true;  
playlist.onLoad = function(success) {  
if (success) {  
\_global.songname = [];  
\_global.songband = [];  
\_global.songfile = [];  
for (var i = 0; i\<playlist.firstChild.childNodes.length; i++) {  
\_global.songname\* = playlist.firstChild.childNodes\*.attributes.name;  
\_global.songfile\* = playlist.firstChild.childNodes\*.attributes.file;  
trace(songname\*+" "+songfile\*);  
}  
}  
\_root.createEmptyMovieClip(“sound\_mc”, 1);  
\_root.sound\_mc.sound\_obj = new Sound();  
\_global.song\_nr = random(songfile.length);  
\_root.sound\_mc.songStarter(songfile[song\_nr], songname[song\_nr]);  
};  
MovieClip.prototype.songStarter = function(file, name) {  
this.sound\_obj.loadSound(file, true);  
this.onEnterFrame = function() {  
if (this.sound\_obj.position\>0) {  
delete this.onEnterFrame;  
this.\_parent.display\_txt.text = name;  
} else {  
this.\_parent.display\_txt.text = “loading…”;  
}  
};  
this.sound\_obj.onSoundComplete = function() {  
(song\_nr == songfiles.length-1) ? \_global.song\_nr=0 : \_global.song\_nr++;  
\_root.sound\_mc.songStarter(songfiles[song\_nr], songname[song\_nr]);  
};  
};  
btn\_play.onRelease = function() {  
this.\_parent.sound\_mc.songStarter(songfile[song\_nr], songname[song\_nr]);  
};  
btn\_stop.onRelease = function() {  
this.\_parent.sound\_mc.sound\_obj.stop();  
};  
btn\_fw.onRelease = function() {  
(song\_nr == songfile.length-1) ? \_global.song\_nr=0 : \_global.song\_nr++;  
\_root.sound\_mc.songStarter(songfile[song\_nr], songname[song\_nr]);  
};  
btn\_rev.onRelease = function() {  
(song\_nr == 0) ? \_global.song\_nr=songfile.length-1 : \_global.song\_nr–;  
\_root.sound\_mc.songStarter(songfile[song\_nr], songname[song\_nr]);  
};  
playlist.load(“playlist.xml”);

Many Thnaks
