Effects Not Showing

CS3 on Vista.

I'm using TXeff with the free version of FlashEff.

I have a movie clip using a Flasheff slide-in effect. The movie contains three dynamic text fields with TXeff drop shadow filters. For some reason the drop shadow filters aren't showing when I run the movie. Its odd because I have other movie clips containing text fields that are showing the drop shadow... the only difference (that I can tell) is there is a Flasheff effect on the parent movie clip of the ones that don't work.

Running the movie shows no errors.

What am I missing?

I have made an example following your description and you are right the TxEff filter is no longer visible when the target is inside of another movieclip which is also animated with a FlashEff pattern .That problem occurs only if the component is configured using the TxEff Panel. It looks like a bug and we already added it to the bug list and it will be fixed on the next major update. Until then the only solution is to add the filter using the code like this (Please do not forget to give an Instance Name to the TxEff instnace first)

import com.jumpeye.flashEff.filter.dropShadow.FEFDropShadow
myEffect.addFilter(new FEFDropShadow())

myEffect is the Instace name of the Txeff instance.
