I did this before and it worked perfecty…
I want text to fade in and out on Flash MX…
I just drop the Alpha to zero in the beging of the tween and back to 100% after… my images fade fine… but my text just appears and disappears HELP!!

I can’t see your file as I don’t have flash on this box but this comes to mind:
Check your tween line in the layer, dotted line = no tween.
your text and your img should be on sepparate layers so there is no confusion between the two (tween success).
**try converting your text to a symbol first** - but if you want to edit later, you’ll have to start over

I did all that! It just pops up! Instead of fading! My images fade fine… can the font have enything to do with it?
Also , when I play the movie in flash (by hitting enter) it works fine…!

Make the text a symbol and use the motion tweening. 🙂

Instead of using the dynamic property of the text field, use the static property for the text field.
