Hi.

I am making a movie saved as Flash 4 (and for now am using flash 4.0a to

make it). The level0 movie has a text field which is loaded from a text file on the server ("whatever.txt"). A movie loaded into level5 has two empty

text fields which are loaded via variables when necessary. The level5 movie is draggable. When the level5 movie - in its 'text fields are empty' state - is dragged over the level0 movie, the text from level0 breaks into and fills up the level5 text fields. If the text variable on level5 appears via navigation, it looks as if a redraw occurs and the text from level0 stops bleeding into the level5 movie. happens in NN and in IE.

The only solution I came up with was breaking apart the text on the level0 movie.

Anyone know whats going on and how to stop it?

thanks!

catherine
