    Resize the 3rd movie to the size you want before loading it or else make it a movieclip which can be resized on the fly.

    If you're loading the movies into different levels (0,1,2) then make sure that each Load Variables action is set to the same level as the relevant movie. Otherwise all the vars will be loaded into Lvl 0 (the main movie).

    If that's not the prob, try using the full URL of the files you're loading from.

    im not loading it into levels im targeting an exisiting movie to replace. which is probably why im having problems.

    ill just hard code the text for now.
