Let me start by saying I have just returned to Flash after an extended (6 year) hiatus from the program. The last time I used Flash was Flash 5.0. I've probably forgotten most everything I did know (which admittedly wasn't all that much), but the program is so different now, jumping from 5 to 9 would probably be stressful even if I were better with the tool. Now, anyway with that disclaimer out of the way I have (what should be a simple chore) driving me bonkers.
I created several lines of text and converted the text to symbols. I then created "funky" motion tweens for the text featuring alpha and tint changes, 360 rotations and flips, etc. etc. When I am in Flash and do a Control > Play, the movie displays EXACTLY as I had envisioned with all bells and whistles. The problem is after I export the movie to SWF and play it in Flash Player it's not the same movie that just played back moments before. The exported file only contains the motion tweens that involve no-resizing, spinning, or alpha changes. The symbols with those features merely only display the last frame of the animation. Furthermore the fonts and stylings I used are missing.
Please help.
