I want to alpha my text.  
To do this in Flash you must have the dynamic textfield with embedded fonts inside a movieclip and then fade the movieclip.

I’ve done this and I can alpha the mc with actionscript, but what I cant do is alpha and make motion tween in the timeline :crying:

What I’ve done is a movieclip on the scene that’s a component/class.  
When it starts it creates a mc inside it and creates a textfield, embedds the font.

- instance on scene
  - dynamic created mc
    - dynamic created txtfield  
It’s the “instance on scene” that I try to timeline alpha =(
