I’ve been working on an interface for a website that i am developing, it consists of one page and a window in the middle displaying external flash files , however if i make an external flash file have dynamic text, it refuses to display the text in the main interface page and i get a blank screen. If I change it back to static text, it is fine, the page displays fine and the text can be seen. I want to use dynamic text as it gives better quality, can an expert give me some advice, thanks!!

I shall explain:

there are two ways:

first the one that always works:

- export on low quality. But this my cause los of quality of the entire movie.

So you can also do this

- place your text boxes on a integer  
with a integer I mean 150 instead of 149.6, or 150.3  
get It? So you just make sure the text has “nice” positions.

example: a text box at an x = 180  
and an y = 20

You can easily snap them to this pixels selecting [view]; [snap to pixels]

Hope it helps…
