Static Text and Masks

macromedia flash sitedesign:
I have read the postings concerning the problems with masking dynamic and input
text but what about static text. I will explain my problem:
I have created a text effect (static) that involves several numbers scrolling
to reveal the key phrase. Because I only want a small portion of the screen
visible, I have created a simple non-moving mask that would allow the unneeded
text to be invisible to the viewer. The effect looks great on the stage but
when I go to test the movie or publish it, the text is not there. I have
tested the mask with a graphic underneath and it works wonderfully but text -
nope. I would prefer to not have my text broken apart because of the file size
problem.
Any suggestions. Please help. I have probably done 10 hours of research on
this problem with no solution. [b]Text[/b][b]Text[/b]

I don't understand your problem as it works fine on my computer. Don't
forget to keep your mask in the same MC as the text. A possible solution
could be to break down your text to graphics <modify><break apart><break
apart> (twice)

Good luck

Henri

The problem might be that there is something wrong with the font you are
using or the font isn't going to your browser
