I am trying to load a txt file into a scrolling text box within an external swf that loads into a blank movie clip on my main timeline. When I test the external swf on it’s own it works, but when I test the whole movie the scrollbar appears but the text does not.

Here are my fla’s for you to check out: [p13 site](http://www.pagethirteen.com/p13_flash_site2.zip)

Any help would me much appreciated…
