text dosen't show

[obarash]

Hello,

I'm creating an MC and inside a textfield by code, and I cant see the text inside.

If i'll create the MC on the _root the text will appear but if I'll create it in another Mc it won't.

The Problem is that I already done that in another part of the file and it works.

waht can I do??

I forgot to mantion that there is a Mask above the MC.

so I create a text format


[PHP]
var tformat:TextFor mat = new TextFormat();
tformat.bold = true;
tformat.size = 12;
tformat.font = "Arial";
tformat.color = 0xFFFFFF;
[/PHP]

Sounds like a path issue. What is the code you are using to put text into the textbox? If it is something like _root.myTextFie ld.text = "here is some text" then you need to include the name of the MC that myTextField is sitting in.

Something like _root.MyMC.MyTe xtField.text = "here is some text".

See the difference?

You need to embed the text. Masked text that isn't embedded won't show. Same thing if you rotate the text. I think the code is myformat.embedF onts = true;
