Using external text file and screens

Hello,

I’m using Flash MX 2004 and I’m trying to use an external text file in my flash movie. I have created a text file starting:

&text=Content of my text file here, etc, etc…

I have put the following code in the frame:

loadVariables(“text.txt”,"_root");

and have drawn a dynamic text box with the var: text.

If I do it in a new plain Flash document it works fine, but if I do it in a Flash Form Application, using screens, then it doesn’t work. I’ve tried it on the top level screen and also on a nested screen but neither work.

Can anyone help? I have either just made a really silly error or maybe I have to do it a different way if I’m using screens?

Thanks very much.
