Why wont my masks work?

Today I was working on some masks, I put up a box with a gradient in it and on the layer above I put some text and then right clicked it and and clicked mask. Anyway in the workspace the mask worked but when I previewed the movie it only shows the box. What is this?
Thanks

I know that I have run into that problem before but I can’t remember what caused that or what fixed it… You might be able to fix this by breaking apart your text (Ctrl - B). I dunno, what you described doesn’t happen when I do it. ::grin::

did you try to embed the fonts

Ok what exactly do you mean by embed the font? Sorry Im a Newbie :frowning:
Thanks

Select your textfield, in the properties window hit the “character” button and select one of the options.
Or have a look for setMask()…
