    Text input is not typing at run time

    I am trying to create a simple login page but coming across a number of problems. Firstly I have a text field - in the properties section it is classic text and Input text. However when I runt the flash file. I am not able to input anything in the text input, Why?


    I should mention I am using CS5 - I get a silly runtime warning: Fonts should be embedded for any text that may be edited at runtime, other than text with the "Use Device Fonts" setting. Use the Text > Font Embedding command to embed fonts.

    Thank you

    What colour have you set text in the input text box.

    ilike2,

    The colour in text is black.
    The flash file is very simple as I have not yet finished the AS3 code.
    However the input box is not typing. I have included the .fla file.

    Thank you in advance for your help.

    In order for text to show up in any kind of text field besides a static text field, you have to embed the font that you want to use. If you change the font for the textfield, you might have to repeat this process...

    Click on "Embed..." next to the font Style dropdown. Check "All" in the Character ranges box. If you know that your box is only going to have certain characters typed in it, you can choose only those characters to make the .swf file smaller.

    You have to do this for each text box separately.

    Hope that helps!
