Wrap the textfield with a movieclip. Then the designer can move and animate the movieclip around in any way he pleases, but you just do modifications to the textfield that's inside.

New keyframes for instances of objects that are supposed to be manipulated by code is hell.

This isn't actually a coding problem, but here it goes:

I'm working with AS2 in CS3.

During an animation, there is some dynamic text that needs to be hidden and revealed. I have one continuous layer of text with just the initial keyframe. The font is embedded. If I put the text layer under a mask in order to hide/reveal it depending on the location on the timeline, when the playback head goes crosses the hide/reveal threshold the value of the dynamic text reverts to the value setup on the timeline.

Is there a way to do this _without_ AS? I want to keep the animation open for the designer.

Thanks!
