Mask on a dynamic text field?

1

Hi friends,
i made a dynamic newsticker. each news item is loaded from one text file and it keeps scrolling. everything is fine. This is a small ticker which loads in bigger swf area.
Now the problem is, i need to show only one news at a time and i.e. only that will be active. for this i m puting a mask for that much area. but when i put the mask the news disappears.

is it possible to show dynamic text through a mask ?

Thanks in advance…

Hi Ahmed,
Thanks for your timely help. Its working now by embeding the fonts outline. But i m losing the font sharpness. anything to rectify this?

You mean the text is blurry?

if you’re using a pixel font, make sure the textfield resides at whole coordinates (i.e x:5.5, y:10.9 wouldn’t work, must be x:6, y:11) :slight_smile:

yes claudio, text is blurry.
ahmed, x is 0 and y is 0
but its still its blurry…
and its not supporting the html tags also.
i have news heading in <b></b> which disappears. only the outside text prints which is blurry

Are u using font size multiple of 8?
Which code are u using to enable html?

sorry claudio, i went out for lunch.
and font size is 10. I cant use 8 as it ll be very small and 16 ll be very large.

Try changin font sixe to 8 and check if it is still blurry

ahmed,
i believe only b tag is not supporting. whatever comes between is disappearing.

font, br etc. works fine.

i am searching to forum for - masking html text. i hope i ll get solution.
thanks Ahmed
