Hi,
I'm trying to pass a sting variable (var teamName:String) to a dynamic
text field nested inside a couple of layers of MCs. The path is correct
because the text field is being changed by the variable, but the string
itself is corrupted or something because the variable's contents seems
to be
Sounds like restrict is not null.

Chris, thanks for your speedy reply (I guess that if I was going to get
a reply at 8.30 in the morning UK time it would have been from Australia!)
Like I said in my initial post, I'm completely new to Actionscript (and
all of Flash, really)
and so your response, whilst I am sure it is the correct
One possibility might be that you're using an embedded font, but
haven't embedded all the characters in that font.
HTH,

This sounds to me like what happens if you embed a certain set of characters
in the field but then pass it a String including characters you haven't
explicitly embedded. I'm guessing you may have pasted a string into the
Include these characters: field in the Character Embedding window? If
so,
There's an attibute on TextField called restrict. It takes a regular
expression of all the characters that are allowed to be entered into
the field. Try setting it to null.

textfield has a retrict value that acts as a filter. Chris is saying
that it may have a value in there already, probably something with the
following letters: M J O E as the Executive is being filtered down
to only e's as the other letters are not in the filter.
btw, what is output when you
Ian and Adrian;
You hit the nail on the head; it was indeed a lack of embedded
characters and my own stupid fault because whilst I *had* embedded the
characters for the intended usage (uppercase only) I neglected to stick
to those when I was running my trouble shooting tests, and included

Glad to be of help Rick.
On the font embedding thing v. the font being installed on your machine, I'm
pretty sure that if you specify a font but don't embed any characters then
Flash will use the installed font but if you embed then Flash will only look
to the embedded characters for display and

Well, I *thought* it was working...
What do you guys make of a situation where a movie works in Test Movie
but not from the web server? Here's the deal:
variable1:String populates textField1 (initial value = )
variable2:String populates textField2 (initial value = )
Call off the hounds, I've solved it.
it turns out that when the a nested movie clip called the variables it
called them from one nesting level up, and I'd coded that as
_root.variable. Flash was fine with that in testing, but the browser
plugin didn't like it. Once I'd changed the path to
