Hi all,

After long time searching I came across here as there are many solved problems already.  
Hopefully someone has an answer for this, I’m using AS2.

I have a problem with loading text from a \*.txt file into a dynamic textfield which is located in a movieclip in another movieclip. It seems it can’t find the textfield because it is in movieclips. I know I shouldn’t work with the ‘\_root’ command but in my project it doesn’t matter. Also tried making ‘\_root’ globalmain to ‘this’. But that still doesn’t do the trick.

```auto

tdata = new LoadVars();
tdata.onLoad = function(success) {
    if (success) {
        _root.movie1.movie2.dynamic_content.htmlText = this.content;
    } else {
        trace("No content found");
    }
};

tdata.load("data1.txt")

```

Like to share my knowledge too.  
Thanks a lot in advance!
