i’m having trouble masking dynamic text fields created at runtime… here’s an example. [http://www.threewishmonkeypaw.com/dev/projectsTEST.html](http://www.threewishmonkeypaw.com/dev/projectsTEST.html) the right side is the outcome i wish to have and the left side is what’s giving me trouble… my fla file is at [http://www.threewishmonkeypaw.com/dev/](http://www.threewishmonkeypaw.com/dev/) if anybody could help me out… basically i loop through an array dynamically creating buttons/labels (and yes i do embed them) and mask it out… where it goes wrong is… the buttons are clickable but now viewable. i don’t know where i’m going wrong and some help would be greatly appreciated. thanks
