alright i have figured out half this issue but i'm having some problems with the other half, i have a serious deadline so if someone could pllleeeease help, here's what i got:

_level0.MainArea2.attachMovie("txtbox", "txtbox1",1);
_level0.MainArea2.txtbox1.loadVariables("lighter.h tm",???);

the first line works completely fine and i think the second line would work fine but i don't know what to put for the method("???") if anyone could help me with this i would appreciate it greatly.
