It’s me again. It seems a run into a whole lot of problems in recent times. This time it’s a problem with a swf loaded into another swf using a “loader\_mc”. Within the movie which is loaded I use xml and it loads perfectly when I preview the movie alone, but when it’s loaded within the “loader\_mc” the xml content won’t show.

I guess it is in the paths, but I just can’t figure them out. In the original movie the path to the dynamic text field where the xml content is loaded is: \_root.content\_mc.profile\_txt

Now, I have tried addressing the field with  
\_root.loader\_mc.content\_mc.profile\_txt  
this.loader\_mc.content\_mc.profile\_txt  
and many others, but it just won’t work.

I hope someone can help. Thanks a lot!!!🙂
