Help!

Hi, I am having some serious dynamic text issues and I just don’t know whats going on.

Basically I have a movie clip symbol which is supposed to show the loading percentage of a movie that is loading in, and I have checked the code 1 million times and I am SURE it is right.

After several attempts of not being able to get it to work, I recreated the text box and still had the problems.

Now, Just to try and get the dynamic text showing something,
in the first frame of the movie clip symbol I did put the following:

[AS]outputfield = “bob”;[/AS]

yet still is shows nothing at all.

my dynamic text box is located in frame 30 of the same symbol, and has the variable “outputfield”. Can anybody suggest what the problem is?!

i tried what you said and it worked for me. I dont know…

I do.

I found the problem… the problem is that I was using a mask layer in the top movie. For some reasons EVERYTHING else shows up apart from the dynamic text… the dynamic text remains invisable but everything else is viewable through the mask.

I don’t know why Flash does that, I think its another bug… I have found quite a few. Thanks for all those that tried to help/ took time to read.

I need to find a way around this problem now!

[AS]

outputfield = “bob”; //it doesn’t show anything
outputfield.text = “bob”; // it displays the word “bob”

[/AS]
