I have been searching long and hard for a simple solution to tween the opacity of dynamically created text - so that it fades in. There seems to be no real standard way of doing this…

The only way to do it that I have found is to set the BlendMode Layer - which makes the text disappear if you try to highlight it (not very good).

I am feeding in my text from external sources… txt and xml files… NO matter what I try - it doesn’t work…

Anyone conquered this one? Could you share your secret? :te:
