hi, again… :ne:

i’m using a xml loading method just like this one: \>\> [Loading External XML formatted Content into Flash MX 2004](http://www.actionscript.org/tutorials/beginner/XML-Formatted_Content/index.shtml) \<\<

it works just fine!

but…

'cause of the organization of the site, i need to put it on a external swf file.  
when i just make loadMovie into the mainstage, it works just fine.  
but i need to put the loadMovie action inside a movieclip, 'cause de formatted content appears inside a dynamic movieclip. and then… it just doesn’t work ☹  
it loads the graphics and everything else except the xml/style sheet content.

help plz 🙂
