Hello,

I have problem when changing my COPIES/TEXT when they are already on MOTION TWEENS. In the first keyframe, I can change the font family or size etc. but when the playhead reaches the other keyframes, the TEXT will revert back to my original style.

Which means, if my text e.g.: (HELLO WORLD) has 5 keyframes, it means i will have to manually change all the font style and sizes for it.

How is it done the right way wherein I only get to change once?

thank you

Are you changing the properties of the text itself as part of the animation? If not, I’d probably convert my text into a Movie Clip (or even a Graphic if you are using an older version of Flash) and then animate the converted unit. If you want to make any modifications, you just make it once and all copies of it will get updated as well 😄

Hi,

I tried your solution and it works. Thank you.  
And I also found another solution which is “ **Add the TWEEN** ” first before adding “ **Keyframes** ”.

Both works the same way.

Thank you Kirupa.
