make sure you textfield is wide enough to show all the digits

embed your font and include all the characters you want to display

1) no

2) there's no must-be-here requirement for code. but the code's content and it's location matter. ie, you need to be able to referene the textfield, which you apparently are able to do. so your code's placement is not the problem.

what code are you using (which will also tell us whether you're usng as3 or js)?
