I’m trying to animate some text with an alpha change, but when I preview, the text doesn’t animate. After trial and error I discovered that it’s because the text is set to dynamic. The problem is that I can’t change from dynamic because I need it to be able to embed the text’s font.

Is there a way to animate alpha with dynamic text, or is there a way to embed text fonts using other text types like static, etc?

Thanks.
