Please could someone verify this.
You can set the variable for a dynamic text box in a movie clip that is on a masked layer, cos the debugger will tell you that it is set.
But it won't display!
of this I am sure

Same here, looks like a bug/undocumented feature to me!!
This could fall under the category of "You can't dynamically update a mask".
I wonder why not. Is it a bug or a shortcoming in the feature list? A response from Macromedia would be greatly appreciated. And maybe next release of Flash will allow masks to be moved along a motion guide as well. Thx.
this is a well documented shortcoming of flash, you can't mask dynamic text 8(
What a drag though
that is you can't mask unsmoothed text - if you choose to save to font outlines, you can see the dynamic text masked
