It's a limitation of Flash .
Set the Textfield to embed Characters to true and you can then mask it. reference:http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowled...fm?id=tn_15945

flash uses the system it's running on's fonts to display textfields. Embedding a font makes flash store the font in the compiled swf and it is used instead of the system font. Down side for most purposes is that it makes your swf a good deal bigger.
