attachMovie and textBoxes

hi all,

i’m having a little trouble getting an input text box to work on a clip that’s attached using it’s linkage symbol. here’s code i have on the movie that’s to be attached:


this.createTextField("tb_txt", 7, 220, 134, 400, 70);
this.tb_txt.setNewTextFormat("Verdana", 12, 0x000000);
this.tb_txt.wordWrap = true;
this.tb_txt.type = "input";
this.tb_txt.borderColor = 0x000000;
this.tb_txt.border = true;
this.tb_txt.text = "test";

if i go text scene everything works. but if i run this in the main application, ie the attachMovie is called, the border doesn’t show and you are not able to enter text but the little text cursor shows when you mouse over the textbox.

anyone know if there’s a certain limitation with attach movie and textboxes?

thanks…
