scroll box not displaying text in projector

[redwards1]

I have a scrolling box (movieclip, name "text").
I want have a few buttons along the side of the scrolling box, that when you click on, the text in the scrolling box changes.
The structure of the scrolling box follows Patrick's tutorial.

The text is in a variable "scrolltext"
The buttons have the code:
on (release) {
tellTarget (text) {
gotoAndStop (1);
scrolltext = "several lines of text";
play ();
}
}

Now, when I goto test scene, it works perfectly. When I export it to a projector file, it doesnt show anything.
Does anyone know why?

I have this problem too - slight variation: the text won't show up at all if there is a mask layer applied to the text ( the mask works within the timeline build but blanks out upon rendering of the movie...) very strange.

sorry dsnazarian, I cant help you on yours.
But I found the ultimate error!!
I had tellTarget (text) instead of tellTarget ("text")!! doh!
