Hi there,

I’ve loaded movies into each other before, but this time I’m having a bit of difficulty. To sketch what I’m working on:

**main.swf** -\> loads **nieuws.swf**  
\*\*nieuws.swf \*\*-\> contains textfield with dynamically loaded content (actionscript)

The code in nieuws.swf is (mc\_nieuws is a movieclip that resides in the library, and is loaded at runtime)  
[size=1][color=navy]\_global.nieuwsMovie = this;[/color][/size]  
[color=navy][size=1]nieuwsMovie.attachMovie(“mc\_nieuws”, “mc\_nieuws1”, 50);[/size]  
[size=1]nieuwsMovie.mc\_nieuws1.txt\_datum.text = “test”;[/size][/color]

This works perfectly when it’s not loaded into the main.swf. BUT … When the nieuws.swf is loaded into main.swf, the text doesn’t show up Ⓜ  
(The rest of the nieuws.swf-movie does)

Anyone who might know why?  
Pls help me out here.

Thanks in advance!
