Hello All

I'm killing myself trying to do what I think should be pretty simple.
I need to know how the whole levels thing works in terms of having a movie clip which loads dynamic data. I can get this to work but only from the main stage as soon as I try to do the same thing but in a symbol object it stops working. From the reading I've done it looks like I have to specify a level? I've read about "_root" and "_this" but don't know what they mean.
what are the required steps? also in regards to this where should my "loadVariablesNum" code live eg "main stage or with in symbol object with the text box

One more thing
can I have multiple variables defined in the same text file EG (contents of text file)
textField1=joey jo-jo jr shabadoo
textfield2=****riderZ
textfield3=stevenPjobs

if so do I have to do anything special to load them into dymanic text fields?

thanks in advance - any feedback is appreciated
