Why are you trying to mask dynamic text? You might have an easier way around what you are trying to do. ---

Howdy… Did you embed the font properly??? That’d be the first place I’d look… ---

i have a lot of text which needs to be scrolled (hence the mask) an alternative i can think of is to have some numbers or symbols depicting ‘page numbers’ (like on macromedia’s site - main page has 3 numbers: 1 2 & 3 and clicking them brings up a different bit of text) i just wondered why my dynamic text would show in the mask (or anywhere, for that matter). i.e. if i change it to static it works fine (i can scroll it) cheers for feedback 🙂 ---

If you are trying to scroll a bunch of text, you should use this tut: [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/dynamic\_scroller.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/dynamic_scroller.htm) I use it at one of my sites: [http://www.tempethunderpress.com](http://www.tempethunderpress.com) It works well and you do not have to mess with masks. 😏 ---

ah yes - i use those often however, i’d made some nice scroll buttons (as opposed to the ugly scroll component) and that’s why i was making my own ‘scroller’ but… i’ve just discovered i can edit the component and change teh colours around! so i’ll use the scroll component after all 🙂 many cheers PS i am an unpublished wannabe author so your site made for interesting reading! i’ll pop back in and have a good look later ---
