Thanks in advance. > > peace Dynamic test is used to display variables. remember to put the full path to ur variable if its on a frame then put \_root.variable , if its on an MC then pyt mc.varaible etc etc. Also make sure the text colour is not the same as ur background :goatee:. Also i remember sum people saying that if they resized the dynamic text box with the free transform tool then it would not display. but iono if thats the case here. hope that helped ---
