Ok, i’m making a localization animation, where you can see the exact localization of a place, since the Iberian Peninsula, to the street. With the animation there are some indications or tips to get there.

The problem is that somwhow i can’t see that text… i got the fla here attached, is there anyone that can see where the problem is?:sigh:

Thanks in advance! :cowboy:

The textfields are located under a mask. And in order to make a dynamic textfield work under a mask you must embed the font.

Embedding the font should’ve worked but I never did try it in your movie. So now I went back to your file and embedding the font didn’t work. However when I changed the font it suddenly did work. With the font embedded. Changing it back to Verdana it now works allright…

So I guess it’s one of those “It’s Flash!” errors. 😉
