dynamic text alpha levels? [MX]

[Clown Staples]

Just want to know if I'm supposed to have this problem...

Movie clips containing dynamic text fields do not fade properly when _alpha is modified by AS. The text doesnt fade, but appears 100% at all alpha levels.

Solution? Any help much appreciated.
