Hullo, I’m trying to create an intro for a friend’s website, and it has a bunch of text which I defined as movie clips fading in and out with Alpha. It works when I scrub the timeline, but when I test the movie (CTRL + ENTER), the text doesn’t fade. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks :elderly:
