I’m using Flash8. I did this tutorial:
http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx2004/maskfonts.htm
And my problem isn’t the mask but the dynamic text is not loading from the XML file anymore. I think this is because in the tutorial the first thing you do is make the dynamic text field a movie clip. As soon as I do that the text data doesn’t load from the external XML file. The code that previously worked was:
[COLOR=navy]_root.prompt = this.firstChild.childNodes[1].firstChild.nodeValue; [/COLOR]
[COLOR=navy][/COLOR]
[COLOR=navy]prompt_txt.text = _root.prompt;[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000080][/COLOR]
[COLOR=black]But now I made the dynamic text field prompt_txt a movie clip named prompt_mc and it doesn’t load. So I realize now that prompt_txt lives inside prompt_mc but how do I get the text data from the XML file there???[/COLOR]
