I’m loading some text from an xml file into dynamic text boxes for a news ticker that I’m building. I’m rendering the text in HTML format because the XML file also provides a URL that clicking on the text will link to. I use a motion tween to scroll the text on to the stage and would like to us an alpha fade to exit. The fade-tween never happens, it just goes to it final state of 0% alpha on the last frame. I tried embedding the font outlines for all characters, but that just stops the text from loading into the dynamic text boxes. Can anyone help, this one’s got me stumped.
