Problems with dynamic text box

[warpdesign]

AAAAARRRRGGGGGG!

I created a flash movie that has dynamic text boxes and tested it throughout as the default export settings in CS3 which exports the swf as flash9, and it was all working perfectly. Now I've realized that I want to publish my movie as flash 8 and when I do that all my dynamic text boxes stop working!!

I'm not familiar with the differences between the two as it pertains to dynamic text so I have no idea where to begin to solve the problem. Any help??

Hmmm. Did your text disappear by chance? If so that is the problem I am having with Flash MX. If that's the case all you should have to do is embed the text. Embedding is easy for dynamic text boxes. However, I don't know how to do it for components that have dynamic text. That is what I am trying to find out in my post titled "How do I embed text in components?" Did they fix the problem of disappearing text in Flash CS3?

Yes, my text disappears but the font is already embedded.

This is the code I ended up using to get my text to reappear from under the mask:

_global.setStyle("embedFonts", true);
_global.setStyle("fontFamily", "Verdana02");

Verdana02 is the name I gave my text in the library and it's linkage. I placed this code on a seperate layer on the first frame of the movie clip housing all my components (various comboboxes and radio buttons). Hope it works for you. It sounds like Flash may have fixed this missing text issue in CS3 if you were able to get your components to work in CS3 but not in Flash 8 (which is what I have). However, I don't even know for sure that this will fix your porblem.

Thanks, that didn't help my problem though. If anyone who has CS3 can take a look at the example I'm attaching, it works great when you publish it as flash 9 but stops working when you publish it as flash8?? I have no idea what I'm doing wrong.

Update: It's definitely a problem with the fonts, I'm using Trebuchet as the font and I'm embedding the upper, lower, numbers and punctuation using the Embed button. When I switch the font to _sans it starts working again. I had this problem earlier and couldn't figure it out.

The files are not opening in Flash8.

It's Flash CS3
