i did the preloader and tranisition for dynamic files tutorial… it works great except for no text ever showing up.

i did a basic text scroller on the external .swf file, and also put some normal text on the top right corner… when i test the external .swf movie, everything works great… but when i test the whole movie, it does the content/transition exactly how i want it but when it loads up the external .swf it doesnt bring any text with it…

any help or suggestions?

thanks
