Hello,

This is my first flash movie. I followed the demo on the web site:

[http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/fadingtext.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/fadingtext.htm)

After I ceated the flash, it only works when I click on the drop-down menu Control -\> Play. But if I export it to movie or publish preview, I don’t see the text is fading. Could someone help me how to fix it? Thanks.
