Don't know why text will not show online

I have got a perfectly working (offline) movie and I wondered why the dynamic content will not show online.
I have a dragable menu and I have frames that have my content on. My menu is a movie clip. I tried to have the dynamic text box on the frame that I want it to view the content but now it only works offline.

my code is :
--------
on (press) {
_root.MS.scroll = _root.MS.scroll-total;
loadVariablesNum("Me.txt", 0);
}
-------

Is there anything that I need to change?

Help would be very much accepted and appreciated.
If this message is better off somewhere else I am sorry if i have put it in the wrong place!

Really stupid question but did you load the text file to the server? Needs to be in the same directory with the swf file.

my page is published as a Flash 8 file and actionscript 2.0

Fortunately my page works if I publish with the html and view offline. it's not there I particularly want it ... it's online I want it to be seen!!! - And it isn't working!!

yes i know...
i mean i'm just saying if you load content in you swf you need to relate from the HTML file and not from the swf file location... just a tip...

I doubt it will be that, because she said it's the TEXT that isn't showing..
so i'm guessing the rest of the swf IS showing..???

Flashgirl_UK..
I agree with Pal_w_G, that you showld check your publish settings, alot of times that simple check, causes alot of stress... ( speaking from experience ) :P

post a link to the HTML on your site, we can have a look and see if any of us can see the text...If we can, then Pal_w_G is right and you may just need to upgrade your Flash Player..

mayebe obvious,
Is your embedded swf on the same location as the html you embed on the server ?
remember that you need to relate files you load to the html file and not the swf file

This seems a complicated prob......

the issue with the mask layer and the embedding of font occur offline to.......

pulish the file in html and run the page offline check whether you can see the same problem.....

also make sure that the flash player in your ie is not older than the flas version you are developing on.......

i will have a try. I loaded it from a source and I had a mask before and got rid of it and that didn't work.

Hi Flashygirl, did you embed the characters into the dynamic text field?

I'm not an expert, but I have had afew issues with dynamic text fields...especially if the textfield, or the movieClip containing the dynamic text is being masked..

I always got it to work after I embeded the characters for the text field.

hope this helps..
