Hello:

I’ve searched the forums and came up dry on this.

Why do my alpha fades not appear correctly when my text that I’m trying to fade is on a layer over a simple blue background (graphical symbol).

If I select any frames between my keyframes where my alpha tween is created, I see the text go from invisible to fully opaque. However, when I run the movie using ctrl-enter, the fade does not work and the text is fully opaque the entire time.

Any ideas?
