Hi all,

Im very new to flash. I am trying to create 4 text boxes each to fade in and out 1 after the other.

I have managed to create this simple effect, when I click [COLOR=Red]control-play[/COLOR] it looks fine and does what I want, however, when i click [COLOR=Red]control-test movie[/COLOR] or [COLOR=Red]file-publish preview[/COLOR] the text does nothing but stay static.

Can anyone help?:h:
