Question

tween dynamic text

Hi,

trying to use the tween class on an MC that has a single dynamic text box in it. For some reason when the text is static the tween works perfectly, but when it is dynamic the tween fails.

Is there a workaround for this or is it just one of those joys of developing in Flash?

cheers
adam

You need to embed the font.

Embedding the font did it. Already had a font defined in the Library thinking that would be enough. I know in some cases Embedding fonts stops other functionality from working so I did not set it up at first. boy i wish there were some consistency with this thing. Is CS3 any better with this kind of thing?

thanks

try embeding it into a mc and use that to animate it.
