i have no problem loading xml data into a text area in flash…

but when i place the text area inside a movie clip, it no longer can get the xml file. any idea why?

here is the code:

myText.html = true;  
myText.wordWrap = true;  
myText.multiline = true;  
myText.label.condenseWhite=true;

//load css  
kungFuStyle = new TextField.StyleSheet();  
kungFuStyle.load(“kungfu.css”);  
myText.styleSheet = kungFuStyle;

//load in XML  
kungFuContent = new XML();  
kungFuContent.ignoreWhite = true;  
kungFuContent.load(“kungfu.xml”);  
kungFuContent.onLoad = function(success)  
{  
if(success)  
{  
myText.text = kungFuContent;  
}  
}
