ASCII text appears distorted in a Flash dynamic text field

Issue
High ASCII text appears distorted when passed as a variable from Director MX to a dynamic text field in a Flash Sprite. This issue is specific to Macintosh OS X.

Workaround
While working in Flash MX, place a duplicate text field off-stage and set it to display the same variable.

Note: Ensure that the current Flash Asset Xtra is installed. For more information please see Xtras and fontMap.txt updates for Director MX (TechNote 16830).

Additional information
For more information about Flash MX text fields , please see Flash MX Text fields have instance names and variable names (TechNote 16184).
