I needed to make text in flash selectable. I made it Static and click on that little icon in the properties window that made it selectable. When I published it and if you like highlight it a couple of times, it disappears completely. O\_O

Another problem I had with selectable text is that I had a body text, and then when I published it, a couple of lines weren’t visible on the bottom unless you selected the entire thing and dragged it to the bottom then you could see it.

Does anyone know how to fix these problems?

Thanks!!!
