Tweening Dynamic Text

[analeda]

I have a dynamic text inside a movie clip. I placed this action on the instance of the dynamic text:
onClipEvent(load) {
text = "this is a text";
}

On the movie clip I created a motion tween changing the _alpha of the dynamic text from 50% to 0%.

But when movie clip is loaded, it only showed the dynamic text not doing anything.

What did I do wrong? Help pls.

Thanks for the help, jubba. Actually, it wasn't the solution i was looking for. I solved it already. I just forgot to activate the 'embed fonts'. That was why my dynamic text was not doing its motion tween.

I saw your tutorial and it's really comprehensive. I wish i saw that tutorial before i made my own text animation.

Thanks again.
