Make sure that your text boxes are set to static text. If you have them set to dynamic and try to apply a motion tween, they won’t show up unless you embed the font. ---

Sorry for the double post but uhhh, i made the text into a symbol\>movie clip so it would fade in and out. ---

Yes i know, double click on your movie symbol so you can go inside it to check if the text is set to static or dynamic. ---

It is Static Text. I checked the way you told me too. Am I exporting wrong? ---

What text are you talking about? Are you referring to the “djcubez” text in the corner? If that’s what you’re talking about then it shows up just fine for me. ---

Ok I know what the problem is, check your stage size, it’s smaller than the actual content area. Your text is actually sitting outside of the stage area so it gets cut off when exported. ---
