Read text file, embed font, createTextField help

1

hi,

i have an external text file i am reading into a movie clip that creates a textfield using createTextField. i want to mask the text… i have embedded the font by going to the Library > New Font, etc. but my text still doesn’t show up.

also, the text, regardless without the mask will not show up if in the createTextField, i set embedFonts = true;

can someone take a look at this? any help would be appreciated.

here is the fla and text file:

doh!!! =\

but i wonder how other people get it to read in text files, with html rendering and also have it looked like it was masked??? for example, the news text on praystation.com ???

…so that the text is easily updateable.

that text is not masked… it’s just a gradient over the TextField. :slight_smile:
