I was just browsing through Macromedia’s website and it looks as though they used dynamic text for the menu. But when I try to duplicate this in MX and I view the movie, my cursor changes from an arrow to a cursor.

I guess what I am wondering is there any way to have the dynamic text that doesn’t cause the cursor to change when it’s rolled over?

On properties panel, uncheck the selectable option. Voila

why would you have to embed the font? since its a dynamic text box? i dont think you necessarily have to? it just depends on if he wants the viewer to see the same font…correct?
