I created a dynamic text box and masked it. However, whenever I change the text of the dynamic text box object. The text is not changing however when I check the attribute .text the text is changed.

I have the fonts embed and tried the to change the text manually (hard code it) and read off text file. The font is in library and has a linkage.

There is someting wrong with my setup, I am sure (duh!).

The following is my code:[http://pastebin.sekati.com/?id=Vinny@b5fe5-a4f08814-t](http://pastebin.sekati.com/?id=Vinny@b5fe5-a4f08814-t)

Any suggestions?

Thank you,
