I hope someone can help me. I can’t figure out why this text file won’t load when its parent swf is being called into the main swf but will separately.

in an actions layer on the main timeline I’m using this code:

\_root.contents.loadMovie(“easter\_scroll.swf”);

I’m calling the easter\_scroll.swf, which calls Easter.txt, into index\_main.swf but the text file doesn’t load although the easter\_scroll.swf loads.

I am confident one of you flash gurus can figure this out. Thanks in advance.
