I am wanting to create a scrolling textbox which is filled via an asp page. Now my scrolling textbox (movieclip) works when I fill the variable with text in code. And I can fill my textbox with the info from the variable filled from the asp. But when I put the textbox into a movieclip and try to fill it the info get returned but the textbox is not filled. Is this due to a target or location problem currently targeted to level 0.
 
Don't know much about ASP & Flash, but if this is a targeting problem, and you're using
loadVariablesNum as:

Load Variables ("your_file_URL.asp","")...

Have you tried targeting your movie clip rather than the level, something like:

Load Variables ("your_file_URL.asp", "_root.movieclip's_instance's_name");
