Skewing text problem

[Amy G]

Change the type of text from dynamic to static. This is the left most, top
most option in the options box in Flash MX. Dynamic text is text that will
be filled in via actionscript. Static text is text that will be displayed
just as it is.

Hope this helps.

Thanks very much for your help, Amy.

I can't believe how simple that was. As we speak I am kicking myself in the
head.

Thanks again, and especially for being so quick with your reply. :)
