Okay I have some files built in MX that use this on the main timleine:

```auto

function textLoad(filename) {
	loadText = new LoadVars();
	loadText.load(filename);
	loadText.onLoad = function(success) {
		if (success) {
			this.stafftxt.html = true;
			this.stafftxt.htmlText = this.staffinfo;
		}
	};
}

```

and then on a button I have:

```auto

on (rollOver) {
	textLoad("craver.txt")
}

```

This works just dandy in MX files but it is not working in MX2004. A trace on success returns the evil Undefined. :hair:

Any clues why?

thanks
