Not so much a question, but this might be of great use to people. I've seen this question asked all over, and just myself found the answer.
You've put in some text to your movie with Flash 8 - exported it with FLash 8. THen you've checked it on a PC other than yours, and hey presto - the text does a disappearing act. All you get are the design elements.
The answer is to publish for FLash 7. People with Flash 7 can't view Flash 8 movies quite right - the embedding options mess things up.

I quote... "Flash 8 provides developers greater control of font rasterization, letting them specify the anti-aliasing properties for fonts. The improved anti-aliasing capabilities are available only when publishing SWF files for Flash Player 8. This also means that SWF files published for Flash Player 8 use these advanced properties. Consequently, static text in these SWF files will not be rendered by earlier Flash Player versions."
Hope this helps some people. I know it was a mystery for me to begin with.
Apologies if this is also put in the wrong place - move if applicable!
