I've got some files where I'm using some of the Quiz Interactions (Fill in the Blank, Multiple Choice, etc.) and the Button component. When I test them, they work fine.

When I load those files into another movie using loadMovie, the text in the questions and buttons no longer display. The movie I'm loading the file into has a mask over it to keep any of the items in the loaded movie from extending outside the set content area, and I'm sure that's the problem...

Can I fix this and still keep the mask??

Thanks!!

Cool...I ended up making the interface a png with a transparent content area and put the movie clip underneath it. It's a work-around, but it fixes it. I will try the setMask in a test though to see if it works...

Thanks!!!
