This is what I had suggested. If you can't or don't want to embed the
font you'll need to take a snapshot of the text, delete the
movieClip that contains the text then do your fades or alpha property
to that snapshot.

You can't change the alpha of text if it's not embedded, unless you
do take a "bitmap snapshot" of the movieclip with text in and use
that instead of the "live" text.

As I described in my eMail I'm using author-time created assets.
Follow the
steps I described, you should see the same thing.
Note: just verified that setting the alpha programmatically via AS
(following setting the text of the dynamic field) instead of
manually on the
timeline, makes no difference.
Note: this is not a solution I'm looking for. I was just trying to
correct
what I saw as some inaccurate answers to another poster's question.
Try it the other way.
*create mc
*create textfield
*load text
*change alpha of mc
