(or at least that's what I think the subject was) Replying late (I'm in digest mode), but somebody asked about this. A few people replied that it was possible, all you had to do was wrap the text field in a movie clip. This works for static text field, but not for dynamic text fields -- you *do* have to embed the font, was my experience. Since no one said anything to the contrary, I quickly re-tested , and I'm still seeing the same thing:
* create new .fla * create dynamic text field inside an mc * place onstage over a shape or another mc where you can verify alpha is working * assign alpha level to the mc * add AS to set text, e.g. my_mc.my_txt.text = "hello"; result: text field displays "hello", but not text is not transparent. Then try the same thing after embedding the font. Now displays transparent. I see same results in both AS2 and AS3. Did I miss something? _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list [email protected] http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
