Loading Dynamic text in a movie clip in Flash MX

Ok so I can't get this dynamic text shit to work for the life of me. I don't know what I am doing wrong.

What I want to happen is when this movie clip is loaded for flash to read from a text file and show the text in that dynamic textbox within the movie clip.

Here is what I have done:

I have a movie clip that is part of this website I am making and within this movie clip is a dynamic text box that is set to multiline, render as html, and has the Var set to loadtext.

On the movie clip action script I have

onClipEvent(load)
{
loadVariablesNum("nameoftextfilehere.txt", "_level1");
}

Now the text file has the loadtext= in the first line, then the text I want it to load. Now from reading tutorials online and stuff it was my understanding that doing this tells flash that when you load the text file it is loaded into the dynamic text box. However, the text doesn't show at all, I tried putting it on level 0 and 2 as well, text still doesn't show. Any help would be appreciated.
