hi,

I,m trying to make a dynamic text field fade in. I got the fade in part though.  
the dynamic text field contains a percentage loader. just before it fades in it shows a zero.

this is my actionscript code it is as2

this.percentage.pct\_txt.embedFonts;  
var alpha = 0;  
function onEnterFrame(){  
this.percentage.pct\_txt.\_visible = 0;{  
if ( alpha \< 100 )  
{  
alpha +=5;  
\_root.percentage.pct\_txt.\_alpha = alpha;  
trace(\_root.percentage.pct\_txt.\_alpha);  
}  
else  
{  
delete this.onEnterFrame; // done, we remove this function  
}  
}  
}  
stop();
