Hello

I have the following on my frame

```auto

textMovie.loadVariables("text/weddings/create/left.txt");
textMovie.left.scroll=0;

```

Although it does not work. Attached is the fla (i experimented with various scopes and still no luck).

i have now tried

this.loadVariables(“text/weddings/create/left.txt”, textMovie);

\_root.loadVariables(“text/weddings/create/left.txt”, textMovie);

\_global.loadVariables(“text/weddings/create/left.txt”, textMovie);

textMovie.loadVariables(“text/weddings/create/left.txt”);

And none of them work so I’m guessing the problem is something else …
