I’ve got a windows that I can move with the startDrag script. This works just perfectly fine. When I load some text into a textbox inside the mc (window mc) the drag-script isn’t working, neither is the close window script. But the text loads just fine. Why is this happening? I haven’t changed anything in any of the scripts. If I just delete the loadVariablesNum(“info.txt”,0); line I can move the windows again. Why!?

Embed your fonts. You can’t move MCs with dynamic text boxes that do not have their fonts embedded.

Eh… Yes you can… I solved my problem. The thing was that I had named both the mc and the textbox to “info”. Must have been some conflict there… When I changed the name it worked just fine! =) But now I’ve got a different problem. I try to use the scrollcomponent to scroll the dynamic loaded text, but it won’t work. I’ve named the textfield and told the scroller that it should scroll the field. Any ideas?

Hmm, weird about the embedded font thing, I did the experiement (tried first with non-embeded dynamic box, it wouldn’t drag, then embedded the fonts, and it dragged… eh well).

Don’t really know why your scroll wouldn’t work, I usually just drop it right onto the dynamic text field, and it just magically works.

Yeah, very strange indeed =) Hmm… Never had this problem before. Nah… Can’t figure it out.
