I've been wrapping up a project for a furniture company in which one section of the site features numerous finish samples with text below.

It seems that the text is getting cut-off; but not on everyone's machine/internet connection. All of my machines show the text properly, my neighbor's laptop shows the text properly, but several test members on the client side cannot view the text without the end of long strings getting cut-off!?!?!

It's driving me crazy.

I'd be very appreciative if anyone here could take a look at the link below and/or download my .fla file and have a look. I've tried everything I know, but nothing is working. Thanks.

Here is the link:

Hmm, any takers? Actually, it would be great if folks could just visit that link and let me know if any of the finishes text is cut-off...Thanks

I had no troubles with the text. Actually, I visited the site from two locations, so I guess my response is worth two viewings. :)

no problem with me and looks like you are working with static textfield so why you don't increment the witdh of the textArea?
and embed the font you are ussing.. maybe the other computer is chossing another font with more space

Okay, problem solved. Thought I'd post back here and give the solution in case anyone else has a similar problem.

The solution was two-fold:

1. Separate the image and the text onto different layers.
2. Put plenty of space between the individual sample/text keyframes.

BOTH of these needed to be done in order to completely get rid of the cut-off text problem.

Again, this problem was VERY regional. Only viewers in Minnesota seemed to be affected. I kid you not. I had people in NY, Los Angeles, London, Texas, Michigan, Chicago, and several other states/cities checking this out, but ONLY those folks in MN were affected. Mondo mondo MONDO bizarro. MN is, BTW, is where the company is located.
