I’ve been smashing my head against the keyboard for the last 2 days on how to make this work…  
Please help!

I’m loading a text dynamic in to a movieClip with the Load Variable class.

My problem is that i can not tell when the text is loaded… to add my animation only then.

this is the code i use (partial):

lv.load(“lorem.txt”);  
lv.onLoad = function() {  
my\_txt.text = this.txtField;  
my\_txt.setTextFormat(my\_fmt);  
}

lv.onLoadComplete = function () {  
trace(“loading\_done”); //// this doesn’t seem to work!  
}
