String Text gets partially erased

[JollyPanda]

Hi All,

I am working on my first flash game, and everything seems to work fine on my local machine. I tried to run it for the first time in my browser, but some of the text was getting partially erased. It seems to be happening to only the larger font text. Has anybody seen this before? I don't have the code file with me - I am at work - but here is the URL where I stored the .swf file (test.swf):

You can see it on the splash screen (Daily looses half of it's vertical text any the "y" gets cut off), and in the main part of the game, "award Points" looses some of it's vertical text). other text also gets partially erased after the game is solved.

Any ideas/suggestions?

Thanks

Have you tried ticking/unticking 'display as background'?

Thanks for the idea - I'll try that later tonight at home. That would be a sweet fix if it works

One other thing to remember is that Flash can only display text inside its bounding box - the EXE runtime can display text outside it if it overflows. With large fonts, the text may be going over the edge of the object, so try enlarging it in the frame editor.

Thanks David - I'll keep that in mind when I go on my bug safari tonight

That was the trick - Thanks Dave!
