Anyone know if this is possible? IE, I have a nice extruded letter that I want a chrome gradient to slowly move across, but everytime I try to tween them, the grouping/ungrouping screws up the tween and I get a jump from the first frame to the last frame with no motion tween.

Thank you!

I think the easiest way would to use the text as a mask over a gradient
