New masking dynamic text problem

[slinx]

Hi all,

I'm experiencing a problem with masking dynamic text all of a sudden.

The main movie has a masked area, and when user clicks to navigate, within this masked area I'm attaching a movie to represent the pages of the site. Each page has a mask tween which reveals the page content.

On one of the pages I want to have dynamic text. I've placed this inside an independent movieclip and embedded the font. The font does not display at all.

The only way I can get it to show is by using device fonts and unmasking the dynamic text mc from the secondary mask (at the page level).

This is clearly not what I want. What am I missing!

Thanks in advance,
Steve

You are probably using a hard-coded mask. You need to change to an actionscript-coded mask.
