controlling dynamic text in a movieclip within a movieclip

[GD03]

Hi,

I have a script that loads text into a dynamic text box but the problem is the script is on one movieclip and the text box is in the movieclip within that one. How would I go about doing this. I know a simple scrolltext=scrolltext.txt (variable = scrolltext) does not work because I'm loading a text box in a seperate movie clip.

I also tried songInfo_mc.scrolltext_txt=scrolltext (songInfo_mc = movie clip where Dynamic text box resides). If someone could help me out it would be most appreciated.

sounds like you just need to link to those tectfields correctly based on WHERE the AS is running from... helps to do absolute paths no matter what (ie link back to _root to find/set the values)

Using loadVariables or the LoadVars() object?

Thanks "TheConeHead" and "oldnewbie" I figured it out. It was actually really stupidly simple. I just made more complicated than I thought. All I did was onClipEvent (load) {

scrolltext = "scrolltext.txt"; }
