I’m doing the Fading Text beginner tutorial, but my text blinks as opposed to fading.
ie: on frame 30 it blinks on, then on frame 50 in blinks off.
What am I doing wrong:q:
I’m a total beginner in Flash, so any help appreciated.
Regards, Imad
Have you applied a Motion Tween to the animation?
yes, I converted the text to a symbol, then applied a motiontween
Could you post your .fla file up here, so I can take a look at it?
I re did it, this time it’s not fading at all when pressing Ctrl+Enter, even though when I scrub the playhead, it fades ok.
Right, I’ve had a look and the problem is your text is Dynamic, not static. In your symbol, select the text, and in the properties panel to the left should be something that says Text Type (or similar) and Dynamic in a selection box. Click on that and select Static Text.
That should solve the problem.
Thanks Kitiara, that worked.
