I have a scrollbar that uses a movieclip-instance name “text” to display dynamic text.

On the main timeline I used the following code:

myLoadVars = new LoadVars();  
myLoadVars.onLoad = function() {  
dynamictextcontent.htmlText = myLoadVars.dynamictextvariable\_html;  
}  
myLoadVars.load(“content/dynamictextcontent.txt”);

On the main timeline this would correctly load the variable “dynamictextvariable\_html” from content/dynamictextcontent"

But now it is in a movieclip called “text” I’m not sure of the code to make this work.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
