I am trying to edit text in Flash MX 2004. The text in question is on a menu
and reads: "CONTACTS" it has 3 text entry's that are on top of each other and
slightly offset (each of the three text entry's reads: "CONTACTS" - 2 of the
"CONTACTS" are white text and the remaining one in the background is gray) Is
there a way to turn off one of those entry's of text? AND how do you toggle or
select each of those? (each entry ot text has a blue rectangle border
indicating each of the three text entry's - I see this by clicking one time on
the label "Layer 1" in the timeline section and the blue rectangle borders
appear around each text entry) So how do you select one of those blue rectangle
borders to edit or delete?

This may sound stupid, but have you tried to move the textfield that you can
select and move it to the side? This should expose the next textfield
underneath it? Or perhaps all three textfields are on different layers (like
they should be) and two of the layers are locked? If the first statement works,
just be sure and write down your x/y coordinates so you can put them back where
you found them after you are done.

Hope it works.

he has cross-posted this same question on flash general forum so your time may have been wasted as
the answer may already be given elsewhere. :p
