hi guys…  
i know it’s very simple question but i don’t know what is the reason…

i’ve main SWF whichis load mc\_dataHolder… it works  
mc\_dataHolder which is load text file ok… everything was great.

main SWF in FLA folder  
mc\_dataHolder in SWF folder  
text in text folder

when i put the text in the text folder i can’t see text it’s load the SWF no problem in it. but there is no text appear… Ⓜ

if i run mc\_dataHolder lonly it loads text file no problem.  
i don’t know what is the problem… i spent the night trying to solve it alone but i couldn’t.

i asked for this before:  
my preloader appear in 70% precent… i want to tell you that i removed the components from my file and make load in separat mc … of course after loading complete (-:

Do you have a mask in your main.swf ? If it’s the case, embed your fonts. If not, post your files it would be easier to see what’s wrong with it.

I think you are not setting the right path to the textfile.

this is the code in the bgDataHolder  
[AS]onClipEvent (load) {  
loadText = new loadVars();  
loadText.load("…/text/textNews.txt");  
loadText.onLoad = function(success) {  
if (success) {  
trace(success);  
\_root.mc\_textHolder.newsBox.html = true;  
\_root.mc\_textHolder.newsBox.htmlText = this.myNews;  
}  
};  
}  
[/AS]

I was pretty sure it was a path problem, but since you didnt post the fla, it was hard to know for sure the correct path.  
Glad you got it working now. 🙂

To control the bgDataHolder.swf you need to target the movieclip where it was loaded into, in this case, the movieclip **mc\_dataHolderbg**.  
As for the preloader problem, how big is the swf that is being preloaded?

> the movieclip mc\_dataHolderbg

you mean this is will be the parent for bgDataHolder.swf .  
like the root for the main SWF… sorry i’m very confused now :h: .

Lets say you want to move the \_x coordinate of the bgDataHolder.swf to 100.  
You will need to target the movieclip that contains the bgDataHolder.swf:

```auto
mc_dataHolderbg._x = 100;

```

As for the preloader, im guessing it has almost nothing, maybe an interface for the text, and its most lots of code on the first frames. That may be causing that delay on your prelaoder.
