Hi,

I’m getting confused. Can anyone explain something about \_parent, \_root and \_levels?  
I think i have a targeting problem.

On the stage is a movieclip called ‘A’. ‘A’ is a scroller that scrolls another movieclip it contains, called ‘B’. ‘B’ contains externally loaded text, which i load into ‘B’ with a frame action on the first frame of ‘B’:  
_loadVariablesNum(“B.txt”, 1);_

When i test this, no text is loaded. What am i doing wrong here?
