Yes I am (or was) trying to mask the movieclip that contained the textArea,
I've stopped doing that and now it works. Does this mean that it is
impossible to mask a movieclip that contains a textArea or is there just
special code that needs to be used that I don't know about?
Thanks again

Since the text area is inside a movie clip (by default actually), you should be
able to mask it if you set the mask dynamically (use setMask per its proper
syntax). If you want to set the mask in the timeline authoring, you will have
to embed the fonts but I seem to remember that embedding fonts in a component
requires some kind of special trick. I could be wrong about that because it has
been to long since I saw that to remember anything about it. I would have to do
a google search.
Thanks, I'll just stick with not using the mask for now

Don't see what you're looking for? Try a search.
