Text in Loaded SWF

I'm loading a smaller swf into a main swf and no matter what I do no text that
I type shows up when the main movie is is viewed. It shows up fine when I
preview the smaller sub swf alone. Am I missing something? This should be
pretty easy.

TIA

Hey... Do you have any masking going on? Unless you embed the font, dynamic
text won't show up through a mask I don't think...

Also, is your text set to be dynamic text? If you don't need it to be dynamic
text and it is, change it to static text. You might need to embed the font
either way. I had a similar problem but I can't remember the solution entirely.

that's right. Dinamic text make problems into the movies loaded dinamicaly.
Trie to load the text into the main clip.

I'm not sure, but i think it can't work.

If you whant to load text from a text file :

Trie to create an dinamic text into the movie (that you'll load) and put at
the Variable 'mytext'.

on the frame : _root.loadVariables('file.txt');
in the text mytext='thecontent';

if you can, you must trie to use static text.

Actually I've tried dynamic text and static text, neither seems to work. I wonder if its some weird program error?
