HI,

HIYA,  
i have a dynamic text block which is inside a movie clip, is i grouped with other elements. This movie clip sits behind a mask. when i am in the movie clip i can see the text field, when i am on the root level (and the mask is disabled) i can see the text, but when i preview the movie the text IS GONE or I CAN’T SEE IT.

anybody know what’s going on here?

any help would be greatly appreciated!  
thanks in advance
