[font=verdana, arial, helvetica][size=2]Hi,

I have some dynamic text fields that I am loading with text within the flash.

My problem is that once I’ve set a text field to a value, I can’t seem to set it to anything else.

IE:

mc\_menuContent.txt\_title.text = “TITLE 1”;

… then at another point doing this …

mc\_menuContent.txt\_title.text = “TITLE 2”;

… doesn’t seem to update the text field properly. It always shows TITLE 1.

Is there a trick to getting it to refresh properly or something?[/size][/font]

I’ve attached a test .fla here so you can see the problem I’m having.
