Hello,

I hope I can explain this well…

I’m creating an interactive quiz of sorts where the user has to read a document and answer some questions. The document is its own MC that will have a scroll function, since it’s fairly lengthy. I’ve come to a point where the text I have entered doesn’t show up on the stage… it cuts off mid-paragraph… If I double-click the static text box to enter more text, I can see everything. Any ideas as to why this is happening? Graphics are showing up fine below the “cut-off” point…

Thanks for any help!

E.S.
