On the page i’m developing now i have a container\_mc which is affected by an alpha fade. It fades out to zero, so it is rendered completely invisible.  
Part of the site’s design requires that I had nested Dynamic text boxes inside it ( to read from XML vars ).  
The problem is, I couldn’t get the nested texts to respond to the alpha changes in the container, nor could I get them to respond to alpha changes I tweened to the individual boxes themselves.  
Is this a limitation in AS3/Flash in General?  
I was wondering if anyone had encountered anything similar.  
Any help is appreciated.
