Ok so my movie works great on its own, dynamic text with a scroll bar. But, I want to load this into another movie, that it will play on release of a button. I'm using load movie and loading it into a target. The scroll buttons show but not the dynamic text. It's been so long since I did this and I'm about to pull my hair out. I tried loading the text into a higher level in the movie but no go. Ummmm HAAAAEEELLP!!!
post some code, but it sounds like it just a path problem, make sure you are targeting the text box properly
and HI stacey
JVERBAL!!!!!!! 
how are you sweetie?
from my main movie button:
on (release) { loadMovie("news.swf", "news"); }
from my text movie:
loadVariablesNum("news.txt", 5);
and my scrollies:
on (release) { news.scroll += 1; }
on (release) { news.scroll = 1; }
flash5 shit is throwing me off but it looks like you are loading the news.swf into a movieclip called news
then you are loading the txt file into level5??
try loadVariablesNum("news.txt", _root.news);
Actually it's MX, should i be doing it differently?
well dont have to be but there is newer syntax for some of what you are doing
in MX you can give buttons names so can call your button jon for example and then
jon.onPress = function() { news.loadMovie("news.swf"); }
its just updated syntax not a big deal really, easier to have all the code in one place though
Cool 
Ok, so its loading the scroll buttons, but still not loading the dynamic text.
Hey Flak
why are you loading into "_level5"?
And then shouldn't you be retrieving your variables via _level5.variableName?
ummm should I?
this is my first venture into MX. 
Ok, lets start this over.
I have a movie. It loads dynamic text. It scrolls. It works fine.
How do i get that movie to play in another movie when i press a button?
God this used to be so easy
Do you know how hard it is to be blonde sometimes?
thanks GAB, I really appreciate you doint this for me
thanks jverb!!
