Please forgive my ignorance. Im new to flash and doing my best to teach myself. I am having a very strange issue, and I have no idea how to fix it. Im using CS3. I've already been working on this project for a while, and I don't know why this is all of the sudden happening. I have a text graphic that I want to create a motion tween with. I created a new layer for it, and drug it to the stage. If I tested the movie at that point, it looked fine and didn't move. If I tried to move the original keyframe, or added a motion tween, it would look fine when I played it on the stage, but when I go to "test movie", its either not on the screen at all, or its in a totally different position. I am at a total dead end, and dont know what to do. Thanks so much for any help!

Need more info for a helpful response.
Is it dynamic text?
Is it a Movie Clip, Graphic, Button, or just a naked text field?

The safest bet is usually to make a Movie Clip out of any text that is meant to be tweened. If you don't need to edit the text, breaking the text apart into pure shape data also prevents problems.

Examine the properties tab carefully, you may be tweening things you dont intend to.
