Static text shows, dynamic does not

I’m working on a flash site where it would take the content from an external text file for content. For some reason I could never get it to work. So I tried just typing text into the dynamic box, and that still didn’t show up when previewed. However, if I change the text box type to ‘Static Text’ then the content I typed in shows up just fine. Ofcourse, I can’t import the text if it is set to static text. What’s going on!?

(The text box is in 2 movie clips, but I dont see how that could make a difference!)
