text effects not working when delployed on the server

Anyone know, or experienced the same problem i'm having with text effects?
I'm trying to do a simple animation in, and animation out but on a dynamic text field so the customer can edit text themselves...
I'm embedding the font, render text as HTML, anti-alias for animation
Everything runs fine on my desktop, but i get differing behavior when hosted on a webserver... the text animation simply doesn't play...

any ideas?

Do you have a link from where the swf is on your webserver? We will need to take a closer look.
