Help loading external swf with dynamically loaded text

programming flash
1

Hello all!

I am working on a project in Flash 8 where I am loading external swfs into a container mc using the following AS:

on (release) {
_root.contents.loadMovie(“filename.swf”);
}

This works really well - however, if the swf has dynamically loaded scrollable text, only the UIScrollBar loads…no text. The text source is a .txt file and it’s located in the same folder as the swf. Any thoughts?

Here’s the AS I use to load the text in the external swf:

myData = new LoadVars();
myData.onLoad = function() {
myText_txt.text = this.myVariable;
};
myData.load(“filename.txt”);

btw - I’m new to this, so there is a good possibility that I’m in over my head.

Any help will be appreciated!
