Ok I have a text box named “output”

When I load my swf locally it works when i get it on the web the external text doesn’t load. In fact it doesn’t even give me my “Error loading CSS file!” ??

Anyone know why?

```auto
var format = new TextField.StyleSheet();
var path = "../css/news.css";
format.load(path);
format.onLoad = function(loaded) {
if (loaded) {
output.styleSheet = format;
myLoadVar = new LoadVars();
myLoadVar.load("../data/newsData.txt");
myLoadVar.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success == true) {
        output.variable = "content";
        output.htmlText = myLoadVar.content;
}
};
} else {
output.text = "Error loading CSS file!";
}
};

```

Thanks,  
Case
