@Luke, first off, your sure your gave the text boxes the instance names of ?boxName? and ?boxDescript?? Also, make sure you have the text boxes on the top layer in the movieclip so they aren?t being covered up by anything else. Make sure the textbox?s colours aren?t set to the same colour as the background of the achievement box too. If all that doesn?t help you, I made a sample .fla which you can find here http://www.giflux.com/blogFiles/AchievementTutorial.fla The link is also at the bottom of my post.
