External .txt loader won't load

[5070man]

I have a whole flash website that calls upon external swf depending on the section. There is one section that has a txt scroller that pulls an external txt. It works fine when it's isolated and opened directly, when I try to view it as part of the whole website the scrollbar is there and scrolls but no text shows up.

I'm at a loss.

Assuming it was an error on my part I've even gone so far as to buy a prebuilt scroller figurin that would work and I get the same issue.


lv = new LoadVars();

lv.onLoad = onLoadCallBack;

// send and load variables
lv.load("dynamicfield.txt");

// onLoad Callback
function onLoadCallBack(succes)
{
// if succes
if(succes)
{
// trace variables
page.page.htmlText = this.thetext;
}
else
{
trace("Loading Error!!");
}
}

Could the path from the parent movie to the text file be different from the path from the individual section to the text file?

Once a child movie is loaded into a parent movie, paths to external files are relative to the parent movie (or more usually, to the HTML file containing the parent movie).

the file that contains everything, the file that contains this script and the txt file are all in the same folder.

for the time-being since this is the least load-intensive portion of my website I put it at the base of the main window and load the other sections on overtop. total duct tape solution but it'll suffice for now.. I'm thinkin I'll have to rip apart the code and start from scratch but I'm so far into the web this slider was more an afterthought.

I appreciate the response!!

I think is a LEVEL ISSUE. maybe the text from the textfile is loading "under" the content, or in another location, and that's why you can't see it. Let me know
