I’m fairly new to action script so this might be me being simple but:

I followed the [SIZE=2]**[FONT=Verdana][COLOR=#003366]Scrolling[/COLOR][/FONT]**[/SIZE][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=2][COLOR=#003366] Dynamically Loaded Text [COLOR=Black]tutorial and added it to my flash movie and although it works perfectly in the tests and once published once it loads in the browser all I get is the word undefined at the top of the text box.  
I’ve searched all over for a solution but as I said my understanding of action script is fairly limited.  
The script I’m using is:

loadText = new LoadVars();  
loadText.load(“home.txt”);  
//creating the loadVarsText function  
loadText.onLoad = function() {  
scroller.text = this.hometext;  
};

Any help would be greatfully recieved.
