Your applying the alpha to the mc before you load your text?
Try it the other way.
*create mc
*create textfield
*load text
*change alpha of mc

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?
