loadVars question - in a loaded movie?

therealsleeper

This may seem like a bit of an odd question.

I have a movie (index.swf) that loads (root.swf) into level9. Now, in root.swf, I have a dynamic text box that loads an external text file (newstext.txt)

when I play the root.swf movie by itself in firefox, it works perfectly. But when I run the index.swf, the text does not show up in the loaded movie.

does this have something to do with where the new variable containing the text is loaded?

here is the code for root.swf:
myData = new LoadVars();
myData.onLoad = function() {
newstext_text.text=this.newsVar;
};
myData.load("newstext.txt");

Please help!
