mc within mc...

[lumstar]

Hey guys,

I have a dynamic textbox with the variable "_root.mytext" attached to it. the textbox is within an mc with instance name "mc2" mc2 is within an mc with instance name "mc1"

In frame one in the root of the movie, I load my variable file into level 0.

How can I make the dynamic textbox display the text?

Post if this is not clear.

Thanks In Advance, Lumstar

Do you mean :

_root.mc1.mc2.mytext = _root.mytext;

?? Regards

Let me try to clarify.

I want the variable mytext, which is loaded from a txt file to display in a dynamic textbox located in _root.mc1.mc2.

I know the variable is getting loaded, because it will display in a textbot in level 0.

How do I specify this? Is it done in level 0 while loading the variable, or is it done on the textbox in _root.mc1.mc2?



Does this make more sense? Lumstar

you can just place :

_root.mc1.mc2.mytext = _root.mytext;

in the first frame

it should work Regards

I figured it out. Dynamic Text will not work if the layer it is in is masked. Lumstar

It will work through a layer if you set dynamic text to embeded font Regards
