In the words of Kirupa > The answer is, unlike movie clip objects, text field objects contain system generated data such as text. Text that is static can be modified by the user or Flash into any numerous forms including being made transparent. Because we are using Dynamic Text, Flash will not transparent the text in the text field. You may see the background become transparent and disappear, but the text will be bold and bright as ever.

Not to refute the great Kirupa… to make Dynamic text fade, it must be part on an mc and you MUST embed the font outlines. then, it will work all day, and twice on Sunday. ---

Open the properties panel for the text box, click on the button that says Character… This will bring up the Character Options window with the option for Embed Character Outlines for: Then you select an option. Montoya: You weren’t refuting Kirupa, he is right too, you were just stating a workaround to a common problem. So if you want to go technically, he is right, you can’t fade dynamic text itself, but you are right in saying you can fade the movie, and if the dynamic text is in there, that will fade out too. So you really weren’t proving him wrong, just stating a way around the fading of dynamic text. ---
