How come I can load text into a dynamic text box with a button on the same layer as the box but when I put the same AS on a invisible button on a scrolling thumbnail mc it doesnt load? Thank You  
[AS]on (release) {  
loadMovie(“images/01.jpg”, “\_root.holder”);  
}  
on (release) {  
loadText = new loadVars();  
loadText.load(“picturetext/Text1.txt”);  
loadText.onLoad = function(success) {  
if (success) {  
// trace(success);  
textbox.html = true;  
textbox.htmlText = this.picturetext;  
}  
};  
}[/AS]
