Hiya,

I’m having trouble with the jump from Flash player 6 to Flash player 8.

I have attached files to show you what I mean more, but basically i have a dynamic textfield and I want to be able to put numbers in it and have flash read it, but it spews up some HTML…

Please see attached

Thanks

Andy

PS Here’s the SWF with details if thats easier.
