Flash player bugs
I´m posting this as a reminder to Macromedia (now Adobe) that they need to fix some IMPORTANT bugs in the flash player.
This bugs are present in the flash player 8, and also in 9.
BUG 1
Two text fields with a drop shadow FX applied. First line of text has font embedded.
Both textfields are placed onto the same movieclip, and that movieclips is masked with an animated mask.
In the flash player 8 the mask only works on the first line. The second line doesn´t change. In flash player 9 it works correctly.
BUG 2
Another two textfields with drop shadow, but masked with an animated scrollRect.
Both players (8 & 9) don´t animate anything.
BUG 3
Two instances of a movieclip, one with cacheAsBitmap and both masked with an animated scrollRect.
The one with cacheAsBitmap doesn´t refresh.
