I guess you are using dynamic text box. You cannot mask dynamic text box, you can mask static text box though.
I think this is the problem. :o
To see your text field under a mask, select it and click the character button in the properties window. Choose all characters.
If you embed the font the text will display underneath the mask.
but in Flash 6 we can do that right? as I remember :)
