well shape tweening text is diff than objects. to tween text u have to first break it apart. ctr + b. then go into ur properties and select shape as the tween.

Basically all you have to remember with shape tweening is that you can’t tween a symbol. The way I ised to remember was that if it had a blue box border round it when I selected it, then it wouldn’t shape tween.
