Hello! This is my first go at anything Flash and apparently I’m not real good at it.

I’m trying to start with something very simple. I’ve created a text fade that appears correctly (fades) in the library preview window, but when I test the movie, it appears all at once (no fade). I’ve tried creating it using both a Timeline Effect (transition) and using an alpha tween technique. Both attempts have the same result.

Any ideas what I may be doing wrong? Thanks!
