So I have this button that when I click on it I want it to load two different text files into two different text boxes. This code works just fine for loading 1 file into one box, but not when I try to do the other thing. Whats wrong with it?

```auto

on (release) {
	loadText = new loadVars();
	loadText.load("TEXT5.txt");
	loadText.onLoad = function(success) {
		if (success) {
			// trace(success);
			newsBox2.html = true;
			newsBox2.htmlText = this.myNews;
		}
	};
	loadText = new loadVars();
	loadText.load("TEXT6.txt");
	loadText.onLoad = function(success) {
		if (success) {
			// trace(success);
			newsBox.html = true;
			newsBox.htmlText = this.myNews;
		}
	};
}

```
