Ok, use this on the timeline your movieclip is in:

```auto

mc.onRollOver = function(){
this.onEnterFrame = function(){
this._alpha > 0 ? this._alpha -= 10 : delete this.onEnterFrame
}
}
mc.onRollOut = function(){
this.onEnterFrame = function(){
this._alpha < 100 ? this._alpha += 10 : delete this.onEnterFrame
}
}

```

I’m sure it works … are you sure you gave your movieclip the correct instance name ?

Hey Voets! I was just helping another dude out with the same problem! 😛

I referred him to the same script you helped me out with not too long ago and then this one after I found it. You say it so much better than I can!

try breaking the text apart inside of the movie clip. that usually does the trick

You can not animate dynamic texts without embedding the font outlines. If you don’t really require the text to be dynamic, you can either break it apart, or make the text static 🙂
