I have no problem displaying dynamic text in a textfield on the \_root of my movie using - this.loadVariables(“myText.txt”);

But my problem begins when I try to do the same thing with a text field nested inside of a movieclip on the root timeline. I’ve tried every path variation I can think of but it won’t appear. Even tried to embed the font to no avail.

Any ideas…I’m running out of them.
