kglad Jul 19, 2009 5:21 PM (in response to Small Town Gal)if you're using static text, the text is already embedded. if you're using dynamic or input text, you need to embed your font. there's nothing else that needs to be done for an alpha fade effect using text.
so, start again. use static text, if that suits your needs. put the text in its own layer in the frame where you want the fade to start. right click the text, click convert to symbol, click graphic (or better click movieclip). in the properties panel, click the color dropdown, click alpha and enter 0 or move the slider to 0. on the last frame of your fade right click the text's layer timeline and click insert keyframe. in the properties panel, move the alpha slide to the end-fade value. right click between the two keyframes and click create motion tween. retest.

Small Town Gal Jul 19, 2009 5:32 PM (in response to kglad)Dear kglad,
I followed your instructions, which were in a different order than my book was describing, and I changed from graphic to movie clip -- now I am getting the fade. I did try movie clip before, but that didn't seem to work. Anyway, thanks a million...I'm sure I'll find more snafus as I go along!
Small Town Gal.

kglad Jul 19, 2009 5:43 PM (in response to Small Town Gal)you're welcome. (you could use a graphic instead of a movieclip. that would work, too. but there's no perceptible benefit and there could be some drawbacks.)
