loading external .swf

[raute4ever]

Hi, i´m new here and have a "big" problem. (sorry my english is not very good):

i have a .swf file that loads text dynamically from a external textfile in a textfield. That works fine. But when i load this .swf as a external .swf in a other .swf (in a blank movie on mainstage) then the variable from the textfile is not displayed any more.
Can anyone help me please?

Are you loading the movie in a container clip or on another level?
What's the code you're using to load it?

And what are you using to load the text file?

loadVariables or LoadVars()?

And are you using the textfield's instance name or a variable in it's VAR box?

hi,
i´m loading the movie in a container clip(root.blank movie) simple with loadMovie:
holder_mc.loadMovie("taekwondo.swf");
The text file will loaded with:
loadVariablesNum("html.txt", self); --> this work when the movies plays alone but not when the movie is loaded in the other movie
I´m using a variable in the textfields VAR box

[oldnewbie]

Use this instead...

loadVariablesNum("html.txt", 0);

Then add _level0 to your variable's name in the VAR box.
If your variable was my_var make it _level0.my_var instead... It should then work as a charm.

You should also look into the new LoadVars() object, much better than loadVariables to load your variables.
