You may want to force a variable inside the MC to hold the dynamic text that is loaded and have the textfield = that variable. Then if the MC changes (position, scale, etc), you have a function that make sure the textField always = that variable. a pseudo refresh guarantee. You may find that you don't need this in most cases. More for just in case, or if you find your text disappearing when modifying the MC it is in. If your text is static (doesnt change form) and all it does is fade its alpha, you probably wont need to do this.

Well, you can if you have the text inside a MC.
Then you change the alpha of the MC.

No. Unless you take a snapshot of that textField using BitmapData first then add that to a MovieClip.

Hi,

is there a way to set alpha transparency to dynamically imported text with
as3 without having to embed the font?

Thanks,
