pretty new to flash, so sorry if this is quite basic.
Im trying to basically put a scrolling marquee at the bottom of my page.
I have (one one layer ) a movie symbol of some text scrolling from right to left (tweened in the movie timeline, not the main timeline). Then i have a mask above that layer that is simply a filled rectangle.
When i test the movie i cant see the text scrolling.
Is there something i am doing wrong that is keeping the movie symbol from playing?
If the text you are movie is in a dynamic textbox, that is why.
What you will need to do is embed the font outline. I believe if you click on the textbox and open up the properties menu (CTRL+F3), then there is a button there for “Format”.
Choose to embed the font outline for all characters and it should work.
This does anti-alias your text though I don’t know how to fix that problem.
