I have my main timeline that we'll call "mother" and I have a movie (other swf) that is loaded into "mother" using loadMovie that we'll call "daughter". Simple? (By the way "daughter" is in a movie clip in "mother" with an instance name if that helps.)

"Daughter" is loaded into "mother" when a button is clicked. In "daughter" there is a vector graphic and a dynamic text field with a variable to load a text file.
When I open the "daughter" movie by itself in the standalone player, the vector and the dynamic text field (with the text file variables inside) are visible. When I play my "mother" movie and the "daughter" clip is loaded, it loads, the vector graphic shows, the dynamic text field is there (selectable) but the variables are not loaded into it.

I think this has to do with tageting but I'm not very good at that. Can someone you there PLEASE help me!?

Thank You
 
A bit confusing!
If you e-mail me the .fla (or post a link here, where we can download it from), I may have a look at it.
