ActionScript 2.0 :: When The Xml Menu Loads Swf File Its Structure Loads But Not Its Data?

have this flash xml menu that loads external swf files like this:

Code:
<item title="ABOUT"content_path="http://mysite.com/folder1/folder2/folder3/about.swf"target=""mouse_rollover_color="0xFFFFFF" mouse_rollout_color="0xDDDDDD" />

and I have this swf file with cms that I'd like for this menu to load. Currently the swf file load external text using this code:

Code:
if (contenturl1 ne "") {
loadVariablesNum(contenturl1 + "/" + userid + "/content.txt", 0);[code].....

but when the xml menu loads this swf file its structure loads but not its data.I tried using :

Code:
this._lockroot = true;

in the loading swf main time line but it did not work.I should also mention that the dynamic data that loads onto the swf that is to be loaded by the menu, resides not in it main time line but 4 movie clips deep .I don't know if that makes a difference or not.
