Dynamic Text kills button below it

[verbo_phobia]

This seems like a quirky problem, maybe something simple..

I have an mc on stage with a mouse over event and a click event, the button is used many times on the stage and I'm using a dynamic text box placed over the buttons, but when I test the movie the rollover on the movie clip only works in the areas not covered by the dynamic text field.

I had this working no problem in AS 2.0 and nothing I've changed should interfere with this - I've tried embedding the font and no good.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,

Toby

Make sure your dynamic text isn't set to "selectable" and doesn't have an embedded url...

Hope that helps!!

no additional options checked except that it's embedded. It seems like maybe AS 3.0 needs a command to completely disable a text box except for actually displaying the text - in the same way that you now must enable button mode to show the hand cursor for buttons. I couldn't find anything in the documentation though..

twice in one week you've saved me a lot of head-scratching, cancerinform, many thanks.

On a sidenote, this seems illogical to me - while adding this capability in AS 3.0, it seems like it should be enabled by default. Maybe it's there to ensure links in html dynamic fields work without fiddling..
