When loading an external .swf file into a movieclip container – dynamically created text boxes don’t work within the external .swf.

They work within the .swf locally – but they will not work when played within the container.

I can build a static text box to receive dynamic content – but then it seems impossible to resize, as the autoSize = true only seems to work with dynamically created text fields. This is no use as we wish to attach a scrollbar to scroll the text.

Can anyone help me?

Many thanks
