I am making a part of a website where there is a whole lot of dynamically loaded text from a text file.

There is an action on a layer in _root that calls the text assigned to the variable "content" in the text file "text.txt" to be loaded in a dynamic text box with the variable "content" in a movie clip called "text".

The text loads up inside the text box in the mC. No problems there.

The problem is when I try and only show some of the text in the text box. When I try and mask some of it, the whole lot disappears and nothing shows up.

How can this be overcome?

Thanks in advance,

Jon
