i’m using flash cs3 with as3 and i would like to know how to:

a) import text so that it comes out clean and the correct typeface and size into a scrolling text box. when i type it in Flash and change the typeface, it still shows up at times new roman when i test the movie

b) how do I make the text fade in? when I go to transition, it tells me that it doesn’t support it. i have a .swf that plays (just a basic opening box for text space) and then i want the text to fade onto the screen into the “box” after the box is fully loaded.

any help?

a) Are you using non-standard fonts?

b) You’ll probably want to look into the tweener class. It handles a lot of tweening various properties of objects one of them being alpha.

I am not using a standard font, how would I be able to do so?

and i am not familiar with using the tween class, or those extra programs like TweenMax (i downloaded it, don’t know how the heck to use it). How easy is it?
