Mask problem...

Mask problem...

Hello

I don't do much masking.

I have a Flash movie which is structured:

Scene 1
Movie clip "display_mc"
"display_mc" contains a layer "Fields"
"Fields" contains a movie clip "list_mc"
"list_mc" contains a movie clip "Info" with the linkage "theinfoBar"
"theinfoBar" contains a number of dynamic text fields all populated from a database

ALL THE ABOVE WORKS!

BUT

when I try to add a mask above layer "Fields", the data disappears and I see the outlines of the "theinfoBar"s.

Any idea as to how to mask layer "Fields" and still see the data?

Thank you.

If you're using dynamic text under the mask, it needs to be embedded (anti-aliased) otherwise the text will not appear when underneath a mask. It sucks, but it has always been the case.
