I’m populating a Dynamic Text field with content from an external flat text file.
To load the text file I have a frame action:
loadVariablesNum(“flash.txt”, 0);
This works fine when viewed by itself.
The problem is when I load that Movie into the Parent (container) SWF file using loadMovieNum - it will no longer work.
I’m assuming it a matter of paths.
Any help would be tremendously appreciated.

Hi,
If you’re loading into a Mc ratyher than a level it sould be :
loadVariables(URL, targetMC);
It’s that the case?
If not (if u r loading into a level my guess is that that level is not 0) change the level number
loadVariablesNum(“flash.txt”, 0 );
loadVariablesNum(“flash.txt”, any number other than 0 );
Cheers

The problem I was having was this:
the HTML Rendered Text couldnt be displayed under the Mask that’s in the container movie (parent).
I’m wasnt awareof this limitation. Unfortunately I’m in a position that required me to use HTML formatted device fonts. YUCKY

hi,
I haven’t tested it but I think you could solve that problem putting the text field ‘inside’ a MovieClip so what you mask is a MC not a textfield
