I have a form, three levels deep in mc’s.

One of the mcs up the top has a mask, to show a select shaped area of everything within it.

I have a php contact form in the furthest level, that will not show up, period, except for the flash working view (where it looks fine). That said, I can still get a text cursor over the fields… but nothing is visible, not even the submit button.

It appeared fine though, when I jsut threw the form\_mc clip one level up, where it was over the mask… is it possible this is the prob? if so, is there a workaround?
