    I am having trouble with referencing variables in text fields. They seem to work fine until I place them under a mask layer, at which point they don't display anything. Standard text fields and image instances still display fine under the mask. I have tried just about everything including referencing the lvl above (e.g. ../:text ) but nothing seems to work. Is there something I am missing? Help!

    Ah.. well... guess i'll have to help myself =)
    Just discovered the cause. In the text field properties I didnt include any fonts. The field works fine if not in a mask layer, but for some reason when put under a mask layer you must include the font for the field to display. Kind of weird but at least its solveable.
