FLASH: Loading Text from .txt/Load Movie problems

[Brian Mays]

I'm not sure this can be done, but I'm trying it anyway.  Unfortunately

I've run to my wit's end.


I've got a .swf (content.swf) that is calling up info from a .txt file

into a text field and placing it into content.swf.  I've got this

working with no problems using Load Movie to call the .txt file into the

.swf.


I want to bring content.swf into my main Flash movie (mainmovie.swf).  I

have a series of buttons nested in a movie clip I'm using to call

content.swf into a placeholder movie clip on the stage of

mainmovie.swf.  I'm using the Load Movie action and targeting it to

placeholder.


This is where I have problems.   Not one time have I been successful

getting it to call up with the textfield content.  I've been able to

call content.swf up fine when deleting the textfield (there is a graphic

above the text field, and it shows up fine).


Is this possible?  Trying to do a Load Movie on another file you've

already used a Load Movie on?

I've got a workaround or two to try, but this would be very handy--it

would allow the client to change content simply by editing a text file.


If I need to clarify anything else I'd be happy to.


Thanks,

Brian Mays
