I’ve got a form that isn’t working too well. My input boxes show up on the work space, as well as the preview window, but they disappear when the movie is loaded via another. These aren’t input text components either. Just input text boxes. Any help? I’ve heard a little bit about this happening, but no answers.
Is there a reason this happens? Should you NOT use a mask? Or is there a way around it? (put it in an MC or something?)
Okay, it works when I embed the fonts, but my button component (i use it in forms because it looks “generic”) still isn’t showing the text on it. Am I supposed to embed that font somehow?
The reason it happens is that if don’t embed the font there are no outlines and the mask won’t work properly. So the solution is embedding the font.
However since flashplayer 6, you don’t have to, you can use setMask (works even better with small fonts)
If your loading your swf in let’s say mc “container”. Make your mask a movieclip with the instancename “mask” (put the layer propertie back to normal again).
Then put this code in a frame
container.setMask(mask);
And you should see your fonts;)
