Ok I must be missing something basic. I have run into this issue before and only got it to work right after doing something that should not work.
Very simply I have a text area set to dyn that loads HTML text from a XML page. The loading all works fine and when I test the text it comes up fine when I enable the text as HTML.
The prob of the text area are simple. Just a reg font. Neither bold or italics are selected but I do have the anti alias checked and I use AS to set the box for HTML. When I test it. it comes up fine. So I went to add a alpha fade. I tried targeting all three movie clips it sits inside (i.e. box1.box.textBox). This is the part that pisses me off. No matter what I do any of the movie clips or the textBox its self. It will not fade unless I go into the char prop and set the embed font outlines for the first 3 or 4 types. Then it will fade. BUT only the text that is not bold or in italics... :mad: I thought maybe I had to use an embedded font. So I tried that as well and it was still the same thing.
It seems like such a simple thing... I just don't get why it does not work. If it helps I can zip my code and post it.
Ideas?
