Hi  
\_  
I’m using this tutorial to make a text animation, but i have problem in Flash MX when i try to edit the fonts.

[http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/ascript\_text\_animation.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/ascript_text_animation.htm)  
\_  
I have followed all the steps of the tutorial to create a new project in Flash MX but i can´t do it.

When i play the proyect the letter that i put in the dynamic text box is repeated constantly, and not the text that i’m placed in the variable “TEXT”.  
\_  
Please i’m asking if you have any tutorial or if somebody could tell me how can i make this project in flash MX.  
\_  
Thanks

you see the text, but not the animation?  
then you forgot to embed the text.  
in your fla go to mcLetterForTweening\_master, select the textbox and in your property window select “character” and embed the font.

if you’ve a different problem, post your fla:smirk:
