Hi folks,

I have a problem with loading an external swf, named “lenzen.swf”. I load this movie in a movie called optiekcenter.swf with the following code:

```auto
 
      on (release) {
      	loadMovieNum("lenzen.swf", 1);
      } 
      

```

```
  In lenzen.swf I work with dynamic text that's loaded from an external .txt file. I do this with following code:

```

```auto
loadVariablesNum("lenzen.txt", 0);

```

```
  The problem is I can't see the text, the page is loaded but the text (from the .txt file) isn't visible.
  
  Any idea's? I'm just starting with Flash so it can be a stupid questions. :b:
