am dynamically creating a textField.
_root.createTextField("firstText", 1, 300, this._y, 300, 100);
myFormat = new TextFormat()
myFormat.bold = 1;
_root.firstText.text = "just testing";
_root.firstText.setTextFormat(myFormat);
_root.firstText.embedFonts = 1;
I am trying to do this because i want to use the _rotation option on my text field. however, if the fonts are not embed text vanishes.
but, even when i do place the embed call text still vanishes. am unsure as to what might be the problem. any ideas?
