Dynamic Text Field Issue

[passionsdemise]

Posting here because I dont believe it is an ActionScript issue.

I am trying to display text from an XML file into a dynamic Text field.

example text from XML = <item>
<name>Celtic Knot Scrying Mirror</name>

display in text field is "Celti not Scrin Mirror" However if I highlight the text, copy and paste it somewhere it shows as "Celtic Knot Scrying Mirror" so I know it is feeding ALL the info in. It just isnt displaying it correctly. Adjusting the text field size, font or fontsize doesnt change anything... infact changing the font to Arial bold (smaller than the font used atm) it displays "ecoco"

(Using Arial Regular does appear to give the correct display, but unfortunately, I dont wish to use that, and it still doesnt explain why Arial bold gives jibberish)

anyway...

Any help would be most appreciative

embed the font.

Nevermind, closing thread.... I found if i removed Anti-aliasing for Readability option and had it as bitmap text [No Anti-aliasing] then it displayed fine in -any- font.

Thankyou anyway

done already using text/font embedding...

(addendum: after closing Flash and reloading the project, It now displays fine with anti-aliasing switched on. so I suppose it didnt read the embedding right the first time round.

Anyway, thankyou
