d*mn masks

[thrawn190]

can you not use text as a mask in flash 5?
it is 6 in the morning so i could just be making a mistake but its displaying entire layer and disregaurds the mask

it plays right when i lock the layers, while editing it, and when i play it in the library but when i test it, it doesnt work!!
