Dynamic text problems

hi folks.

has anyone come across, or know of, any issues with the following:

I have a master/container swf. on the timeline there’s a button that calls an external .swf to load into a specific target. no problems there… everything works so far.

the external .swf that’s called into the main movie contains buttons, which all work fine, and dynamic text boxes that are populated by an external text file. the problem is that the text * seems* to load into the dynamic textboxes fine, (there’s nothing wrong with the filepaths etc. and the scrollbars suggest that there is scrollable content within), but crazily the text it not visible!?! when I test the movie that contains the text areas outside of the context of the larger, container movie the text is perfectly visible.

is there a solution to this bizarre happening? thanks. D
