LoadVars into a Dynamic Textbox-Inside a movieclip

[Kirderf]

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.??

...
MovieClipInstance.productInfo.text = this.myVariable;

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?

If there's no TextField present when myData.onLoad happens, of course it can't assign the text because there's nothing to assign to.

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.
