Im fairly new to flash and am currently working on a project that uses external text files loading into dynamic textfields.

Now this part is fine. when i preview the swf the text is displayed fine.

The problem is when i call the swf into the main interface movie the text is no longer displayed. The scrollbar looks like the text has been loaded but the actual text is not visible.

Can someone please point me in the right direction to resolve this.

Cheers
