RE: FLASH: Transparencey & Variables to a text feild: Can they wo rk together?

[Aaron Schurman]

Yeah it will, it depends on how much of the font is saved as oulines (under

text field properties menu).  I took the font I used for my test document

out of the system folder and it still ran fine.  And what I meant about the

graphic thing is under the symbol properties you have three choices,

(graphic, button, movie clip) I couldn't get it to work as a movie clip, but

when I switched it to graphic it worked fine...I am not sure why.
