(dynamic text) how to _alpha and mask

I have a dynamic text box and i want to mask it but its not working. i remember once someone was showing me something that had to be done to a dynamic text box to get _alpha effects on them and I wonder if its the same thing. Problem is, I don’t know what that “thing” is.

well… first it has to be a movieclip, so click it and press F8, then make sure its a movieclip. Second, you may have to embed the font to get the masking to work correctly.

Doesn’t have to be a movie clip :slight_smile:
