Hi,

I have a flash-file with a movieclip holder (export for actionscript as : holder)

In that movieclip I have two textfields, instance names “title” and “content”.

So when I call the function useHolder(), this should put the movieclip on stage and display “titelinhoud” in the title-field, no ?

function useHolder() {  
\_root.attachMovie(“holder”,“holder”, 725);  
\_root.holder.\_x = holder.\_y = 100;  
\_root.holder.title.text = “titelinhoud”;  
}

Now it shows just the background of the movieclip (so that gets loaded on stage), the title-field stays empty (although I embedded the font), only the content-field is showing the dummy content I put in in flash.
