Okay I have a movie where i am trying to load variables through a text file.... The dynamic textbox is loacated in a MC named "text" and the instance of the dynamic text box "text", what I forget is how to load the variables from the text file to that area in my movie..

this is what i have in the root frame one:

loadVariablesNum("rock.txt", _root.text.textbox);

but no luck! it works fine when the dynamic text box is in the root but i can't figure it out when it's in a MC?

Any help would be great thanx!!!

well .. text is actually a property of a text field .. maybe that's causing the problem

try something like ..
movie clip instance name: textMC
text field instance name: textBox [ which you already have ]

anyway .. i think it's easier with the LoadVars (object)
