I have a mc with dynamic text and input text but when I mask it none of the text appears. I CAN see the input box but I cant see the text that is typed inside?

Any ideas on fixin’ this?

– setMask doesnt work in my case as I’m using Flash 5 and it just reveals the mask shape.

[edit] And I cant embed it because the font gets VERY VERY blurry. But yes to others reading this post, embedding it does make it show…just blurry in my case.[/edit]
