I have created a dynamic text field and placed it behind a mask. I have embedded the fonts so the text shows through.

When I place this under a tweening mask it shows through fine until it hits a keyframe in the mask tween, then the text that was typed directly into the field shows through instead of the dynamic text. Why?

See attached for an example.

Thanks.
