This is odd. I have a mc in the library that I am putting on the stage with attachMovie, and all that works like a champ. I then set the mc’s \_alpha to 0 and then assign an onEnterFrame function to fade it in. That works. The strange part is the dynamic text box contained inside the mc is not changing alpha. I can successfully assign it .text, fine, but it won’t change \_alpha even if i target it \_root.mc.textBox.\_alpha. Anyone have a guess as to what is up?
