I have a fairly simple question.
I made a new movie symbol. In it I made a text box that contains one word.
On the main timeline I have the movie clip move and fade with a motion tween and change the alpha settings.
When I view it in editor, it works just fine, but when I export or preview in html, the text moves but does not fade.
Any help would be much appreciated. đ
Thanks

if the text is inside that movie clip, anything inside it(the mc) should fade⌠care to provide the .fla?

while iâm asking questions, what is the difference between âexportingâ, and âpublishingâ?
Here is the fla

aahhhh đ
See I knew it was something simple.
I think the reason I made it dynamic in the first place was that I read somewhere that it might help the font look clearer?
Oh wellâŚ
Thanks for the help badpacket :thumb:

How would I go about embedding font outlines?
andâŚ
If I used a rare font in my flash proj, would everyone see it correctly, or would it be replaced by a font that they have installed?
Thanks

now thatâs the whole thing of embeding your fonts, your fonts are viewable by everybody and itâs dynamic (you can send variables to it)
just make a dynamic textbox, go to characters (in properties) and then âall charactersâ
