I just don't know what I'm doing wrong.

I started with a brand new .fla with one frame.
I pasted your code into the actions panel.
I pasted your xml into notepad and saved it as dictionary.xml.
I created a dynamic text box and made the instance name dictionary_txt.
I changed cMain to mcMain.
I even double checked to make sure everything was in the same directory.

I get nothing but white screen. I can tell from the cursor that there is a one line text box on the screen, but that's it.

Is 9am too early to drink?
