Displaying text extracted from txt doc in a movie into another.

[tilotama]

SOS!!!! Please help me... Im new with flash... but Im on a deadline..

i have 3 movies -

i)MainMovie
ii)TextContent
iii)Navigation

Explanation

i)MainMovie - The movie where i combine all the elements(Navigation & TextContent) by using 'target' or 'container' or 'movie clip', however u prefer to call it. In this case, I have 2 movie clips in the MainMovie :-

a)NaviBut - to hold the 'Navigation'(Navigation.swf)movie
b)Text - to hold the 'TextContent'(TextContent.swf)movie.

ii)TextContent - this consists of 10scenes named such as 'Pg1', 'Pg2', 'Pg3', etc etc on the first frame of each scene, consecutively. Each scene contains more than one layer. Each scene will call different ".txt" documents, such as 'Pg1.txt' for scene1('Pg1') and so on. 'Pg1.txt' for example contains 2 or 3 variables with strings asigned to it. These strings will be loaded into dynamic textboxes in the TextContent movie. This was successfully done, when i play this movie on itself. meaning, i could display the strings contained in the .txt documents into 'TextContent.swf'.

iii)Navigation - contains the button to call 'TextContent.swf' into 'MainMovie.swf'.

Problem
I cant display the text contained in the TextContent.swf movie into the MainMovie. I cant figure out what i did wrong. Do i need to load the variables from the .txt documents into the MainMovie? If so, how? Please helppp!!! Any help is really appreciated.

Loading on levels or in empty container clips?

Can you post a link to your .flas? Regards,

You can see my .fla and .txt files via these links:

http://www.geocities.com/grungettepening/Pg1.txt

Its not the real flash documents though, since im testing the engines for the functions as mentioned above - so its not pretty.

oh... by the way, Pg1.txt was actually stored in a folder called 'Text' in my computer.

As for your question - I used a container... i did try using levels, it was successful, but i neeeded to use the container method.

THANX SO MUCHHH
