i need the typeface on the site i’m working on to be eurostile, not a standard typeface. how do i load the text in so that when i test the movie, it shows up in eurostile, and not in times new roman? also, how do i make it fade in? i can’t seem to get it to work. ---

oh, and how do i make it fade in? or wipe in? anything. i just need to be delayed because i have a .swf of an “opening box” that i want the text to show up in. and as of now, the text is there while the box is opening up which is not what i want. ---

i’ve been up and down google, kirupa, knowflash, flashkit, and all the other sites. i’ve also been all over my flash and as3 books. they just all give very specific tutorials. … here is how to make a blue navigation bar with green mouse overs with no explanation of code or anything. which i understand, because there are thousands of scenarios and ways to do things in flash and as3. thats why i come on here and try to get some advice for my specific problem. sorry if i’ve become a pest, but i’m trying to learn this all on my own and, understandably, need a little help. this isn’t the easiest thing to do. ps: thanks for the link. ---

Embed the font in the properties panel. Use a tweening class to fade the text in. Add other movieclips, additional properties, delays, etc… to the [COLOR=“Blue”]loadSite[/COLOR] function if you like. \*notice this script uses “TweenMax._from_”; this tweens the movieclips _from_ the condition specified in the script, to their condition on the stage in the FlashIDE. ```auto function loadSite():void{ TweenMax.from(text_mc, 1, {alpha:0}); TweenMax.from(anotherMovieclip, 1, {, delay:.5, alpha:0}); } loadSite(); ``` ---

thanks for the code. it’s making my scroll bars flip out, but everything i try to do does that. thats something else i’ll have to figure out.
