I have this movie clip. Inside this movie clip is a scroller and another movie clip. The “another” movie clip houses the dynamic text field which calls an external text file.

This is supposedly for a News Section on a website, and since it has to be updated regularly, I decided it would be best to make use of the external text feature. Unfortunately, i can’t make it work.

I have attached the files, and hopefully, someone could help me. Thank you.
