Hoi

i know there are lots of thread on this but i just doesn’t work for me:(

I want to mask a text…A Dynamic Text Flield  
here i found this on the Flash Site

**Solution**  
To use editable text fields in a mask, go to the Text Field properties dialog box of the text field object and select the Include Font Outlines check box.
