little problem with flash mx 2004

i'v given a tekst in Flash a transition (timeline effects -transition) so that this tekst fades-in for 30 frames

now when i do "control - play", then it works. but the problem is when i do "test movie" or i export it as a flash file, then the transition is gone leaving only the tekst without the fading-in effect...

I'm still new at flash, so it's probably a stupid mistake, but i would be very happy if u guys could help me with this :o :lol:

A quick follow-up to the helpful thread from and with practical, export-safe ways to get a fade that will appear in the SWF.

If the built-in timeline text effect does not survive Test Movie, use one of these reliable approaches instead:

  • Put the text inside a Movie Clip symbol and tween the clip's alpha on the timeline. Convert the text to a symbol (F8), give the symbol an instance name, then set keyframes and tween the clip's _alpha across frames. This keeps the animation authoring-friendly and exports cleanly.

  • Animate at runtime with ActionScript 2 (Flash MX 2004). Example placed on frame 1 (give the text or its movie clip an instance name like myText):

import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;

myText._alpha = 0;
var fade:Tween = new Tween(myText, "_alpha", mx.transitions.easing.Regular.easeOut, 0, 100, 1.5, true);

Notes and quick tips:

  • Give objects clear instance names in the Properties panel before scripting.
  • If text must remain dynamic (editable at runtime), prefer the ActionScript approach so the SWF renders the fade at runtime.
  • If fonts look different after export, embed the font glyphs in the text field Properties to preserve appearance across machines.

These methods avoid authoring-only preview quirks and make the fade consistent when you Test Movie or publish.

hi,

the text u r trying to give fade effect is either dynamic text or input text, change it to static text and the prob. will be solved.

let me know.

bye
