hey i have a question,  
i usually load text using as so that i can edit it abit easier on webservers, however  
this time im trying to do it, and it’s not working, im not sure,  
but ive never put the dynamic text box inside a movieclip b4, but heres what ive done

i have the main scene  
on the first frame of the main scene i have this loadVariablesNum(“logo.txt”,0);  
on the next frame i have a button that says  
on(release){  
menu\_logo.play();  
}  
i have a movieclip in the same scene which is that"menu\_logo"  
but inside that MC i have a masked animation, but the dydnamic textbox isn’t in the mask, but still in the MC, am i doing this right? lol

anyhelp would be awsome

cheers, shannon :beer2:
