Ok. Ive been working on this for TOO LONG. I need help. Heres what I have:

I have a main swf. On the stage I have an empty move, instance named “container”.

I have another swf named news.swf. In news.swf I have a dynamic text box with a variable name “mynews”. I then have a text file with mynews=blah blah blah, in it. I have the variable being loaded in frame 1 of this news.swf file. When I run this news.swf file, the text loads. All is well.

Now, back in my main swf, I have a button that loads in news.swf to “container” when I click it. The swf loads fine, but the text does NOT load.

Please… help?
