loadvariable, movies inside movies...

[SpaceGirl]

I'm having problems getting loadvariable to work when one movie is
loaded into another. The movie that holds the text works perfectly when
it is played on its own, but if I then load that movie into a container
movie, loadvariables fails to load my texts. Any idea what I should look
out for?

I use this on a Frame action:

loadVariables("../content/about.txt",this)

And there is a text field on the page with var set to "content". The
text document it loads is redident in the parent ../content folder, and
permissions are fine.

Like I said, the text is loaded fine if I run that movie by hand, but
when the movie is loaded into a container movie it does nothing...

You will propably need to set another target in the loadVariables, do the
debugger when you run the movie that loads in the other--- to find the new
location of the textfield..it wil be listeed in the variables output of the
debugger..
I had this problem once myself

hope this will help you..

It's very weird. It all works locally. When I copy the files live, the
text just refuses to display.

Okay fixed - despite what the documentation says, you have to use
absolute paths for content that is loaded like that when on a web
server. When testing the movies locally you can use relative paths. Blah.

Well then the problem is solved..

flash..
