Dynamic text fields, turn invisible after loadMovie();

[miur]

I have a dynamic text field in a swf file, that loads the content of a given variable.

Everything works fine when i export the movie (CTRL+ENTER).

But when i use the same movie within a main swf, by loadMovie method (!!not LoadMovieNum!!) the text box turns invisible.

I <b>know</b> that the box is there, but i can't see the content!


Thanks in advance by reading this post!

Path problems!

Attach your .flas, I'll look into it in the morning!

It can't be path related. It could be- but I doubt it.


Check out the example I built.

2.swf displays the text field perfectly.
1.swf is blank.


Thanks for looking into it OldNewbie. =D

I figured it out! =D

If you plan on loading a movie that uses the createTextField thing, make sure you make the font in the PARENT/ROOT movie, and export it's Linkage for ACTIONSCRIPT.

The reason I could not get it so work, is because the font was in the child movie's library.

So now we have figured it out. =)

im having the same problem, the textfield is becoming transparent when i load it into another movie. i dont really get what

"If you plan on loading a movie that uses the createTextField thing, make sure you make the font in the PARENT/ROOT movie, and export it's Linkage for ACTIONSCRIPT."

means, and i know im not using any 'createTextField' thing, so does anyone have any idea what i can do?

If you're not using create text field, it's not the same problem

Path problem?

paths are my guess currently at 90% of all problems. hahah
oldnewbie is so wise.
