    Levels Issues

    Hi,

    I have an MC with all the pages of the website on the timeline.("pagesMC")

    so on frame five of the pagesMC I have my contact page.

    on this page I am using the loader component to load my contact form

    on the contact page I have three dynamic text feilds that display errors

    but once the contact swf is loaded into the "pagesMC" the dynamic text does not appear. But it will appear in the output window.

    how do I get these text feilds to display?

    Thanks,

    Ponyack

    Where are da dynamic text fields?

    Actually, if you can trace the dynamic text fields, the problem is probably layers (not levels). If you drag the layer with your dynamic text fields up, you will probably see them.

    Why are you trying to do this in one swf? Also, if it were me, I would put all content on one frame and use _visible=true; to show contect per user event.

    If I have not answered your question, post your .fla. I am sure that if I can see it I will be able to explain why the dynamic fields are not showing.

    Levels vs layers

    Just to be clear, a timeline has layers. An swf that loads additional swf movies has levels (root=_level0, next is _level1, ...).

    Dynamic content

    Thomas,

    Thanks for the reply. I am not sure if I can post the fla because it belongs to client but will ask in any case.

    As far as a solution, moving the layer did not work. The visible="true"; what is this and where would it go?

    What is interesting to me is this, the swf works on its on, so why would it not work on any other level beside the root.

    Do I need traget the MC that the webpages are inside of....?

    I have a similar problem with an xml file that loads text to a dynamic feild.

    Thanks again for the interest in this problem
