Text from outside source problem

this one is killin me so im hoping someone with a better graps of this can help…lol…

im trying to get text from a text file to appear in a text box on my time line. the initial movie stops at frame one where a map appears…once they click on the room it’ll take them to a specific frame toward the end of the movie where i have decriptions, pics, etc for each room set up…

for the description box in, for example, the computer room (frame 477) the instance name of the text box is computer room, the text file is named computerroomtext.txt, the variable name is computerroom…in the actionscript i did
loadVariables (“computerroom.txt”,"_root.computer room");

in my text file i put computerroom=blahblahblah

when i test the movie and click the button that takes me to frame 477 (the computer room) theres no text. if i remove the text file from the folder i get an error that it couldnt be found, so i know its doing something…i just cant figure out why the text isnt showing up…help…loll…tia
