targeting a text filed one level above

[ratboy]

I have a txt field in my main.swf that i want to target.

I'm importing another.swf into main.swf that has a menu and dynamic content from xml.

This is how i successfully load the text to bodyTxt text field in another.swf

bodyTxt.text = xml.link[pict].@pgText; 

i can't get the text to load into a different text box in the main.swf from the imported another.swf?

basic stuff, and i stuck!!!!!

There is a delay when you load the text from xml to the child-swf textfield. When you immediately call the text from the child-swf textfield, the textfield is most probably not yet loaded with text.

Or are you loading the text from the child-swf textfield much later? Then you are not correctly targeting the child-swf textfield.

I think i have a targeting issue!!!

it works a bit like this.
main movie already loaded - press a menu button to load the subnav.swf in a MC on the main.swf - from a sub nav press i want to update a textfiled in my main movie.

when i mess about with the paths in the subnav, it throws errors when i make the swf because the target is not in the subnav swf it's in the main swf.

should i be referencing the subnav button presses from the main.swf?
