How would you say… Wanna make the text move?

One letter at a time… Or the whole text?

Might want to just handle it through ActionScript…

or animate the mc with actionscript … 😉

Did you try giving the dynamic text an instance name and then tween it like that?

[EDIT]Might want to try embedding the fonts too[/EDIT]

ya the clip is alwasy instanced. And if i embed the font it will asail it leaving me with fuzzy text which i’m trying to avoid in the first place.
