Here’s one for ya…I’m making some fading text. I made a movie clip of the text and did the alpha tweening and all that, and when I play the clip on-stage, it works perfectily. However, when I run a movie test, the text does not fade in but rather just suddenly appears. This is also the condition when the graphic is loaded onto a webpage. Has anyone else seen this happen before and can tell me why this is happening? Thanks.

Make sure your text is set to static text, not dynamic text. You can’t alpha tween dynamic text unless you embed the font.
