hi,

its so easy. Just creat a key frame in your second frame of text (layer1 of Drag), then remove the border and change the color. at present you are not used a key frame, in your text layer (layer1 of Drag)

if u want to change only color, even you can go for html embed and use “<font color=#990000>test to display</font>”(font color=#990000 html TAG not displyed here )

Again if u look for MX, yes you can with a interesting way

jest like …

_root.createEmptyMovieClip(newName,depth)
// you creat a MC because you need drag & drop
_root[“newName”].createTextField(“myText”,dep,x,y,w,h)
_root[“newName”].myText.text=“your text”

// then format the text

myFormat=new TextFormat()
myFormat.font=Which font
myFormat.size=font Size
myFormat.color=color
myFormat.bold=true
myFormat.italic=false

pls. see mx help

go for the esiest way you think…
