Variables not found only on "simulate download"

OK, for the very last time :wasted: I am posting this issue once more and then I’m declaring that there MUST be a bug in importing of XML files to Flash 8 and I will NEVER use it again in this version of Flash.

For the third time I have completely re-written the entire code of this movie. And once again, just like the other 2 times, when I run the movie in “Test Movie” all 32 of my text files load and trace perfectly. When I switch to “Simulate Download” a raft of “undefined” text error messages appear when I click on the text field links.

There is only one movie running. All variables are declared globally at the beginning of the movie. A preoloader (debugged and verified to be working perfectly) loads all images and XML text and CSS before proceeding. All text is loaded into a single text field dynamically.There is never a problem with undefined images - only text.

Thanks for any suggestions!
