[MX] Weird Clip Behavior - AS Not working

programming flash
1

Hi guys,

I am running into a weird issue. I created a text box, and I want to simply have a fade in action. So I made the box a symbol (graphic) and then changed the alpha to 0. The text still shows up when I test the movie. I tried making the symbol a movie clip and then doing:

[AS]
onClipEvent (load) {
this._alpha = 0;
}[/AS]

And it still shows up on the stage. I’m not using any other AS in the scene, and I can’t figure out why this would be happening.
Any ideas?

It is because of your dynamic text. In order to apply alpha to a dynamic textbox you need to embed the font outline (right click, properties, character… blah blah blah)

I see. Thank you very much. It’s hard to find this kind of knowledge anywhere.
