working on a site i havent made a full flash site in ages so what i wanted to do was make a flash site with xml so they would update the xml as im finding the php to xml to flash to hard to learn in a short time. i have xml in a text box but when i try to animate the textbox the text disappears and the text box moves. Is there a way to animate dynamically filled textboxes?

Try embedding the fonts in flash for the dynamic text fields. It may increase the file size of the document but it may work. Never tried it myself.

You need to nest the dynamic text area inside of a movie clip in order to animate it.

You can animate the text box's just fine. But as stated above, convert them into symbols and make sure the fonts are embedded.
