Hello! Got a huge issue with a website , and the problem is that I am not able to load in external text files into a dynamic text field…

I got a button that is suppose to:  
on (release) {  
loadText = new LoadVars();  
loadText.load(“TEXT1.txt”);  
loadText.onLoad = function(success) {  
if (success) {  
// trace(success);  
\_root.sub\_mc.textHolder\_mc.historia\_txt.html = true;  
\_root.sub\_mc.textHolder\_mc.historia\_txt.htmlText = this.myNews;  
}  
};  
}

It is suppose to load an external text file from the same folder as the flash file is located…  
the target file lies in a movieclip. Why am I experiencing problems with this ?

Would very much appreciate an answer, totaly confused 😛 😃

Greatings from Handyman! 😃
