RE: FLASH: long scrolling text field disappears!

[Sohrab Pirayesh]

I think there is a limit to the amount of text you can have, and I think you

have reached that limit. When I ran across this problem I simply took my one

text file and split it into three separate texfiles.


Then in my movie I simply had a "next page" button. Not sure if that's what

you are looking for, but it's one way to get around the problem.


hope that helps,

Subject: FLASH: long scrolling text field disappears!



Hello,

I have a movie that is 700 px wide x 500 pixels high.


In one section there is a very long (2300 pxs in height) text field that the

user can scroll through and read. It's all set up and works great except for

one problem....when I test my movie the text disappears about one-third of

the way down the page. I can still scroll with my down button until the end

of the text field, it's just that there is no text inside it after a certain

point. It vanishes!


Anyone know if there is a limit on the text field length that can be used

within a movie? Is my text field too long? I can't make it any shorter, nor

can I make my movie any larger. Has anyone experienced this problem before?

Anyone have any suggestions for how to resolve this problem?



Thanks,

Laura Hamilton
