alpha tween not working over movie

[spike101]

I have a looped movie playing and I'm trying to put some text over top that will just fade in as soon as the flash starts. I did the tween with the alpha from 0% to 100% and it works if you play it in the timeline, but when you go to the 'preview' the text just show up at 100% right away with no fade.

Does anyone know what would cause this? or how I can get it to fade in properly?

Sounds like a font embedding issue... Did you embed the font for that textField???

[spike101]

if it isn't set to do that by defualt, then no I didn't.

How do you embed the font?

okay, I got it working. I'm not sure what difference made it work but I changed it to static text and then put it in it's own MC and then put it on the stage and it's happy now...go figure.

Thanks

The Static textField embeds font automatically, but Dynamic and Input textField does not... That's why you have to embed the font if you are using Dynamic or Input textField...
