Ticker extention problem

Goodmornin'

I needed a news ticker for my webpage and stumbled across Peter Elst ( http://www.peterelst.com ,couldent find the particular script on his site but there is one on http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange if you search for ticker )

The problem I have is that when i write a text It cuts the text way to early, like it had something to do with the tickermask_mc being to short (altho it should fit dynamiclly how big text I have, right?) I use v8 of flash so maybe its some problem there? Please help me with this

/M

oh ya i use V 2.02 of this component
