I am loading an external swf into my main movie and setting its alpha = 0;  
The problem is that only the picture inside swf stays invisible while dynamic text doesnt (it appears immediatelly).  
SWF consists of 3 layers: transparent background, dynamic textfiled, and mask for text.  
And I am loading swf into a movie clip on stage.

Anyone know why is this happening and how to fix it?  
Otherwise I cant tween it…  
Thank you!
