Loading xml

I have a flash movie that is a scroller and loads xml text/news into the scroller. I have exported the movie and now I load it into an empty mc in another flash movie. It works great when it is alone, but when it is loaded into the empty mc the xml content does not load? what am i missing or doing wrong? Here is the script.

stop();

var filelink = “news.xml”;
var spacing = 80;

var my_xml:XML = new XML();
my_xml.ignoreWhite = true;
startheight=0
contmc.entry._visible = false;

var cssStyles:TextField.StyleSheet = new TextField.StyleSheet();

cssStyles.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
news.TheText.testtxt.styleSheet = cssStyles
dates.TheText.testtxt.styleSheet = cssStyles
}else{
news.TheText.testtxt.text= “CSS unable to load, contact webmaster.”;
}
}

my_xml.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) {
if(success) {
tracknumber = my_xml.firstChild.childNodes.length;

		for (x=0; x<tracknumber; x++) {
			duplicateMovieClip(contmc.entry, "entry"+x, contmc.getNextHighestDepth());
			clipRef = eval("contmc.entry"+x)
			setProperty(clipRef, _y, spacing+startheight);		
			clipRef.titletxt.text = my_xml.firstChild.childNodes[x].childNodes[0].firstChild.nodeValue;
			clipRef.artisttxt.text = my_xml.firstChild.childNodes[x].childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue;
			clipRef.desctxt.text = my_xml.firstChild.childNodes[x].childNodes[2].firstChild.nodeValue;
			startheight = clipRef._y + clipRef.desctxt.textHeight;
		}
		nextFrame();
		
    } else {
            trace("Unable to load XML");
    }

}

my_xml.load(filelink);
