Hiya,

Here’s my situation… I have an externally loaded text file (example1.txt) and scroller set up the way I want, and everything seems to load and scroll just fine when playing the movie (resume.swf) by itself… however, when I have that movie (resume.swf) loaded into my main movie (main.swf) I can’t get it to scroll at all. You can see what I am talking about by looking at the .fla’s below.

Any help would be greatly appreciated… Thanks in advance!
