erm…you can either do it by: 1. Convert your text to a symbol( graphic or movieclip). Then on frame 1, scale it down to the smallest size you want. Then on the next frame, say frame 15, scale it to the largest size you want. Somewhere inbetween the frames, right click on it then choose motion tween. or 1. Repeat the above but do not convert the text to symbol. Press ctrl + b 2 times to break it down, then use shape tween instead of motion tween (right click or simply click between the first frame and the last frame and choose that from the property inspector under the tween menu ). Hope this helps. 🙂 ---

Erm…the second method is just an alternative method to the first one. Sorry for the confusion. As for PSandhu, which part of the first method are you not sure of? Care to elaborate more? ---

No, you don’t need to double click it. You can just animate the graphic as a whole. Here, I recommend you to go to: [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/basic.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/basic.htm) Take a look at “Creating a Basic Flash MX Animation” and “fading text”. They might be helpful to you. 🙂
