I have a dynamic text inside a movie clip. I placed this action on the instance of the dynamic text:\ronClipEvent(load) {\r text = “this is a text”;\r}\r\rOn the movie clip I created a motion tween changing the \_alpha of the dynamic text from 50% to 0%.\r\rBut when movie clip is loaded, it only showed the dynamic text not doing anything.\r\rWhat did I do wrong? Help pls.

Thanks for the help, jubba. Actually, it wasn’t the solution i was looking for. I solved it already. I just forgot to activate the ‘embed fonts’. That was why my dynamic text was not doing its motion tween.\r\rI saw your tutorial and it’s really comprehensive. I wish i saw that tutorial before i made my own text animation.\r\rThanks again.
