[font=Arial]I have read the postings concerning the problems with masking dynamic and input text but what about static text. I will explain my problem:
I have created a text effect (static) that involves several numbers scrolling to reveal the key phrase. Because I only want a small portion of the screen visible, I have created a simple non-moving mask that would allow the unneeded text to be invisible to the viewer. The effect looks great on the stage but when I go to test the movie or publish it, the text is not there. I have tested the mask with a graphic underneath and it works wonderfully but text - nope. I would prefer to not have my text broken apart because of the file size problem.
Any suggestions. Please help. I have probably done 10 hours of research on this problem with no solution.[/font]
