hi…
i made a movie clip containing fading text…then drag from library and put it into main stage…When i test movie…i doesn’t work…the text doesn’t seem to fade
i attach the fla…
Thanks for help
You have to embed the text
weird…
anyway what I did was brake the text apart in the last graphic, because it was still in text (no-graphic form).
Works now…
You can use static text, instead of dynamic.
Thanks a lot for all your reply…really appreciate it…
hi billy…i don’t understand…what is the difference when using static text…i suppose it should be the same…very grateful if you could explain.
hi claudio…what do you mean by embedding the text…
hi mlkdesign…thanks for correcting the mistake…but i think i already convert the text to graphic symbol…do i still need to break it apart for it to work?..need a bit of your explanation…
sorry…but i am still a beginner…hope can understand me
Again…Thanks for all your replies…
Select your text. On properties panel, click Character…|All Characters
what is funny is that when i play in the library…it works…but in the main stage won’t work…anyone know what cause the difference…i can’t grasp the concept…
Thanks
thanks claudio…

The difference between using static text and dynamic text when fading them in my eyes, is file size. …my eyes file size…that could be a song…
First off, static text is just that, static. As far as Flash is concerned, it’s graphic. You can change it to a movieClip and use it as a graphic.
Secondly, you can embed the font and use dynamic text, but your file size will increase because the swf file will include the font for further use. Dynamic text is used for text that is, dynamic. It changes (has the ability to change). You can use dynamic text boxes to load text into from a txt file, or use it to display a clock like my footer, or use it in a game to keep score. I think you get my drift.
I use static text whenever possible to keep file size down and preloading time to a minimum.

Sorry about the delay in answering. Try the text fade
using static text and you won’t have to embed the text.
Also the person that said using static whenever possible,
was giving good advice take it easy.
ok, thanks for the answers
Understand now:)
