html text works but not when swf is loaded into main movie

hi

i have the following code to load some text as html:

var my_lv = new LoadVars();
my_lv.onLoad = function() {
scrollWindow.html = true;
scrollWindow.htmlText = this.profile;

//where profile is the txt document variable name: &profile=blah,blah,blah...&

};
my_lv.load("profile.txt");

it works fine except when loaded into the main movie.

any ideas why this isn't working are gratefully received, thanks...

PHP Code:

---

var my_lv = new LoadVars();
my_lv.onLoad = function() {
    scrollWindow.html = true;
    scrollWindow.htmlText = this.profile;
};
my_lv.load("profile.txt");

You have wrong path... becouse you are loading variables from loaded movie, no from main movie. So you must change your path. (_level1....)

the movie is loaded into a clip that resides on _level0 in the main movie.

THis is sample. It works... Try it.

it works when viewed in the browser but i can't open the fla files, they keep crashing my copy of flash (mx)!

Becouse, it was in Flash 8 format. This is that sample in 2004MX format...

thanks, but i'm using flash mx not the 2004 version, so i still can't open the files!

I hope, that this is format for you. Flash MX... :)

thanks for your time with this. your code was not different to mine except that you used loadMovieNum (ie, target: level) rather than loadMovie (target: clip), which is what my current code does.

so i changed your code to loadMovie to see if it would still work and it does. This means that i now have your files with identical code to mine: but whilst the text as html works when using your files, it doesn't with mine (when loaded into the main movie)!

very confusing! as i say, everything is set up the same: loadMovie code, the new LoadVars() code, the txt file, etc, etc...

any ideas??? could i be overlooking something?

yes, i was overlooking something!

the call to load the text was misaddressed: instead of "profile.txt" it should have been "subfolder/profile.txt" because the files were in different folders!

sometimes we can look too closely and miss the bigger picture...

the positive outcome is that p3k's code is working. thanks!
