Hey everyone,

I've created a dynamic scrolling text field so I can update the banner in
notepad.

I don't want it to scroll across the whole page so I created a layer mask
graphic box and attached the text to it.

The problem lies in that I can't view the text if it's dynamic and in a mask.
If I drag the text out of the mask it reads the file and appears on stage
fine. Is there something I'm missing?

The code below is what I've created. Is there a scoping problem?

var myLV:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
myLV.load("banner.txt");


myLV.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
crazy_txt.text = myLV.banner;
}
};

You can't use a mask layer with dynamic text in the same way you would use a
mask layer with static text. It just doesn't work. Take a look at the setMask()
method in the Help section to see how to mask dynamic text.

Masking is possible in Dynamic Text.

follow this steps

Select your "dynamic textbox".
in the property panel select "Embed".
on the list select uppercase,lowercase,numeral,punchuations. and press Ok.
