hello all! i have a question…is anybody having any probs with calling a .swf file with dynamic text (loadMovie) into another movie? more specifically in a masked layer? the original .swf file that has dynamic text in it works fine when tested by itself, but when i try to “loadMovie” it into another .swf, the mov works but the text is invisible. any ideas would be most greatly appreciated. 🙂

You need to embed your text. Look for its properties in the property panel.
