As far as I know theres in no way to cahnge the alpha of a dynamic text box. I put one in a movie clip and when i try to change the alpha of it everything else in it changes its alpha but the not the DT box. Could someone plz verify for me that u can’t change alpha and help me find a component that allows alpha control with a dynamic text box. thx in advance.:mu:
