Hi,

I have been stuck with a problem with my flash project. Here I have a movie clip A which upon clicking will have another movie clip B sliding in. After movie clip B gets to it's destination, it will run a script and create a textfield on top of itself. However, it seems that the text field created is always hidden behind everything on the stage, rather than sitting on top of movie clip B.There's no way of see it. I use the createTextfield command. I also notice that no matter how I change the level argument in createTextfield, trace will always return _level0 being used by createTextfield. How do I actually bring it sitting on top of movie clip B? Could someone please give me some pointers?

Just found out that the problem has to do with the mask in movie clip B. It seems that the mask prevents the textfield from showing. Any idea on how to solve it?

Solution: embedded text. Here it's a link that explains the problem and the solution to it.
