    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.

    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!
