Hi folks, I’ve got a flash movie that loads up another movie when you click a link. The movie that is being loaded up is a fairly straightforward scrolling text piece. Now here is the weird thing, when i play the scrolling text movie on its own (or test it on its own) it works fine. However, when I call it up inside of another movie, all i see are the arrows (controls for scrolling) but no text…

Any idea what is going on with that? It’s making me nuts… I’m loading up the movie with a line like this:

pic.loadMovie(“about.swf”);

but when about.swf loads, that is when all i see are the arrows, no text (unless i load the movie on it’s own, then it works fine)

Thanks in advance for any ideas that might help with this!!!

CHeers,
