I have used ActionScript to create a movie which contains a text field (that imports XML) and a UIScrollBar. I’d like to fade the text in but it won’t work because the fade script (alex\_uhlmann) requires the initial alpha to be set to 0 and since there is no physical clip on stage, doing this - text\_mc.\_alpha = 0; - doesn’t work.

So if I can put text\_mc inside a clip on stage (with alpha at 0) I can fade it. How can I get the text\_mc inside content\_mc with ActionScritp?

Thanks  
Charles
