i´m having a little problem loading text into a textbox. It seems to be really simple but as i´m a flash begginer… Actually the problem is loading the swf file with the textbox inside another .swf. The text is not shown. I´m sending the .fla files. thanks to everybody and merry christmas folks !:?) ---

eduardo … your problem is very simple… you can’t mask dynamic text… try to put it without mask… it’ll work man… 😉 ---

Ehm…you **can** mask dynamic text, if you also want to see it, you have to embed the font;) scotty(-: ---

It can be done both ways. But I think it will be wise, if you’re busy with text and you know that (later) you want to mask/tween it, to do it right away. When later you’re testing and things don’t work, at least you know it hasn’t to do with embedding the fonts. scotty(-: ---
