I am loading XML data dynamically into a movie clip. When I mask the movie clip, the text is not visible. I can see the black boxes I have in the same movie clip (they are masked correctly), but the text that is in those black boxes becomes invisible when I mask. Is it impossible to mask dynamic text boxes?
