Dynamic Text

[littlepunk29]

Finally got my preloaders to work correctly...but in the process i messed up my text boxes.

i have a main file with MOVIECONTAINER_MC
what loads into the container are my individual pages

on the individual pages the dynamic text displays just fine
here is the actionscript i used

hometext = loadVariablesNum("home.txt", "0");
stop();

however, when the main file loads the .swf into the container, my text doesn't show up. i know it has something to do with what level it is on, but i don't know where i should have it going

i tried

hometext = loadVariablesNum("home.txt", "1");
stop();

hometext = loadVariablesNum("home.txt", "2");
stop();

hometext = loadVariablesNum("home.txt", "_root.MAINCONTAINER_MC");
stop();

basically i have just been makin stuff up cause i don't know what should be in there =)

if anyone knows, please tell me

Is the script to load the text on the main timeline or in the object that its loading into the container?

[littlepunk29]

the textbox was within the .swf that was gettnig loaded into the mc

i just figured it out

i had originally used the instance name of the text box...and it was textscroll....i was calling it scrolltext in the actionscript.

thank you
