Masking

[benny hill]

I am loading XML data dynamically into a movie clip. When I mask the movie clip, the text is not visible. I can see the black boxes I have in the same movie clip (they are masked correctly), but the text that is in those black boxes becomes invisible when I mask. Is it impossible to mask dynamic text boxes?

you must embed the characters of the font you are using. Click on the text field and click on "EMBED" in the properties tab. You can choose which characters to include. Extra characters will increase file size, so be choosy about what you embed. For example, if you know there won't be any numbers, don't include them.. Hope this helps
