I’m trying to modify the tutorial on this site for the actionscript text animation ([http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/ascript\_text\_animation.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/ascript_text_animation.htm)) and I’m pretty stumped. I have a pretty basic background in Flash, and I have a good programming base so I can understand what is going on once I read it over a few times.

My question regarding this tutorial is how to get the text to fade away once the script is done executing and displays the text in the window. I tried a few things and it just doesn’t seem to work.

If anyone can help with that it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank,  
Lior
