Here’s what I’m doing. My main timeline has 3 “pages/mc” on it. One is titled index, which is just the basic design. The next is titled ssfp\_mc. Ssfp\_mc has a loader\_mc that loads external swfs in the content section.

Here is the problem:

In the external swf’s that are being loaded into the loader\_mc there is another content\_mc that contains 3 things:

1. Border
2. dynamic text (scrollable)
3. buttons to control the scrolling

When the external swf is loaded the dynamic text does not appear. The border shows up, and the buttons show up, but the text is empty.

So I have two .fla files ssfp.fla and ssfphome.fla (external swf.) When I preview the ssfphome.fla the movie plays correctly and my text is there. It’s only when I preview the ssfp.fla and load ssfphome.swf that the text disappears.

Can someone please help me?

Thanks,
