Sorry about all the posts today, but I am new to Flash and learning fast!

Anyway, I have a dynamic text box with an attached scrollbar component. I want to have these items fade in from black. I set their alpha values to 0% on frame 1 and 100% on frame 30. However, when I view the animation, only the scrollbar fades in. Do I have to convert these items to movie symbols or something first? Any help is appreciated.
