How exactly are you looping?

Try to give some more information, or an example.

That’s how I understood you:  
You have a swf which loops infinitely. The textbox is overwritten everytime it starts from the beginning.  
You could make a container swf (with one frame) where you store the text and a movieclip which loops.  
When the textbox is changed update the variable in your container swf. On looping get the text from the  
variable. That would make sure, that the text is updated correctly.
