It sounds like you have chat bubbles disabled, if the text is appearing properly. Or, it could be that the boss is taking damage so quickly that the game doesn't have time to get the bubbles out; I've seen that. One other thing could be is a piece of geometry obscuring the boss might be blocking you from seeing the bubbles. That can happen at weird angles.

Also do i have to run thru my whole arc just to see if everything in mission 4 is spawning appropriately. or can i just run mish four to see if the advancec mission cascading events are occurring correctly. thanx for any help

In the mission editor, up top, you'll see your missions as little books; you can drag the books into any order, so you can put your current test mission first, then put it back when you're done. 
It was a tough couple of days before I learned that.
