Is there a path needed to call LoadVars into a dynamic textbox that is not on the _root level?

Here is my code:

myData = new LoadVars();
myData.onLoad = function() {
productInfo.text = this.myVariable;
};
myData.load("myText1.txt");

When I use it on the main timeline it works fine. When I place the dynamic textbox on a timeline inside of a nested movie, nothing happens.??

Yes, that works absolutely perfectly...until I move the dynamic textbox down the timeline of the movie. I wonder if the LoadVars class calls the information and then does not display it because there is no container on the first frame? Any ideas?

It looks like I will need to find a way to assign the information to a variable at load time and then call the variable into the dynamic box. My new quest.
