Dynamic text shows locally but not on site?

I have a dynamic text box on the _root level of my movie that loads an external text file. When I test it in Flash (MX2004) locally the text shows up just fine. But when I upload it to the site it doesn’t show at all. I’m exporting as Flash 6. I just want to display as html text and not embed font (if possible). Also, there are no masks on the _root level.

Here is the code to load the text:

loadText = new LoadVars();
loadText.load("/text/about.txt");
loadText.onLoad = function() {
textBox.html = true;
textBox.htmlText = this.infoText;
};

Any ideas are welcomed and appreciated.

edit: Yes, I made sure the text file is uploaded to the /text directory!!
