First of all… I am pretty new to Flash and [Kirupa.com](http://Kirupa.com) has been an awsome guide for me. Ive followed through on some of the basic action script tutorials and they all work great!

I followed the loading embedded SWF file tutorial and it works fine. I followed the loading external data dynamic text box tutorial and it works fine… My problem lies when I combine them both. My main.swf contains an embedded about.swf. The about.swf contains a dynamic text box that reads an external text file. by its self, the about.swf works fine. For some frustrating reason (probably super simple), I cant see the dynamic text when I load my main.swf. On my main.swf the dynamic text scroll bar even able to scroll (as if something was there), but I cant see it or highlight it with my mouse.

Is there some trick to it? Any input would greatly be appreciated!
