I believe this is because components use system fonts and system fonts do not show up in masks - if the components allow you to embed fonts, this should fix the problem. On 12/3/06, learner [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello all, I have kept few components on the stage, like buttons, label etc.

You probably shouldn't have 'secure' in there. Just to make sure: You put that file on the server with the video, or the server with the swf? That file should go on the server with the video. And if that doesn't fix it, I really don't know what the issue would be. Thanks C Venable, John B
