i know this might sound dumb, but i cannot get the text box to load from a text file if it has already in a different frame - meaning: i have a same dynamic text box in 2 different stopped frames. I want to have text loaded from 2 different files to the same box in each frame. I can only get it to work the 1st time around. As soon as I try to get it in the other frame, it does not load. (if i go to the 2nd frame first, it loads the 2nd file fine, but same thing happens when i try to get the 1st one up again.) Is there any command that can allow me to reload it as many times as those frames are reached? I would greatly appreciate help!!! u guys rock btw.  
Thanks
