oooookay.

todays a slow day, so bear with me.

im making this movie, and for one of the buttons, i load a movie externally.

insie of this externally loaded movie, i have a dynamic text, of with and external .txt file is loaded.

## in the external movie—

i have the

```auto
stop();
loadVariablesNum("prices.txt", 0);

```

in this movie (called “prices”), when i test teh movie, the text loads fine, and everything is working.

* * *

## the main movie.

i have …

```auto
 pack.onPress = function () {
		_level0._alpha = 20;
		loadMovieNum("prices.swf",1);
} 

```

the “prices.swf” is called up fine. and eveything works, but iget “\_level1.prices” in the text field in the “prices” movie.

any help?  
thanks
