Any static/dynamic/input text isn't rendered when movie is loaded into a movieclip.

[chemman]

All works fine when I run a flash alone, let's say PhotoGallery.swf, I have all the text - titles, descriptions I've coded, it is all shown. However the Main.swf, which loads the gallery after some button has been pressed makes all written non bitmap/drawn text, after the movie appears. (ie plain, normal text) dissapear. Simply, in the place there was some test, there is no text. It isn't rendered. Everything else is rendered fine.

main.swf loads all movies into an empty movieclip the same pixel width and height of main.swf- text dissapearing has happened with all text-using movies so far, no matter where I put the text, it was simply not rendered (no, it wasn't rendered small/same as BG/low opacity). What I did is use the Bank Gothic font in the menus, as normal text in the main.swf, since main.swf contained the navigation. The child movies all contain Times New ROman.

Note that the text is Times New Roman, and shouldn't cause conflicts, I think..

Please, if you know a solution, post it, since I don't have much time.

To better understand it, here is a link to the two files.

http://lo2.olsztyn.pl/~ow/Problem.rar

It's a rar containing two files. Although the text is mostly polish, all the code I'm doing, internal names, comments and such are in english, so if sources would be needed, I will provide them.

How to reproduce:
-------------------
1.Run photos.swf, pay attention to the text.
2.Run bmain.swf, roll over to Barczewo, click the lower button.
3.When the movie loads notice no text whatsoever.

Note that those 2 above were swf files, here are the fla files, source that is =]

Any quick help would really be apreciated here.

After googling up all possible phrases, I have noticed the following.

Hello rabskers,

Welcome to Flash Move.

If it's a dynamic textbox, Flash doesn't like to mask system fonts, you'll need to embed the font outline in order to work around it.

We've had other threads with similar questions you can read up on:

Is what I found on http://www.flashmove.com/forum/archive/index.php/f-11

True, my text never showed when masked when I was doing so in the credits screen.

So, I looked at the architecture of my movie, and noticed that my movie holder is allways at the bottom. It switched z-axis with a lower-most movie clip. The movie clip however was under a mask, and as it seems, not only the z-axis were switched, the movie got masked as well. After I removed the layer from under a mask everything worked.

Well, I did it =]

Fast even, I thought I'd never hunt that bug. Any mod should preserve this topic as someone might have a similar problem. And tkanks for reading. =]
