I'm having problems with a dynamic text field not displaying its text. It's nested several clips deep, but if I check the "display variables" debug option, it's receiving the text from the variable; if just doesn't show.
After searching around a bit, I've tried the following things:
* Setting the mask through ActionScript, rather than through the GUI
* Making the dynamic text field its own movie clip
* Embedding the font for the dynamic text field
None of these, either individually or in any combination with the other methods, have shown the text in the text field. Anyone have any other ideas?
The text box is inside another clip that's masked. I've seen several mentions, though, of tricks to get masks to work with dynamic text. It's just that none of them seem to have worked for me.
As for Flashkit, I've never once been able to get an response there, so I gave up trying.
Turns out that dynamic text fields, when masked, can't be updated by changing the variable. You have to change the text directly. I had tried this, but was using the wrong property (I should've been using htmlText instead of text).
