Re: [flexcoders] Re: Alpha setting of 0 doesn't work with controls' text

[Michael Schmalle]

Hi,If I get what you are talking about, it's an optical illusion.They take the backgroundColor of the container and create a fill overlay 'over' the text. Then call an alpha tween on the overlay itself.
That is why it looks like the dissolve tweens the text but, in actuality it doesn't. ;-)Peace, MikeOn 10/5/06, tombaggett <

            Thanks for both responses.  The odd thing that led to my initial
inquiry was the code I've included below.  If you use a Dissolve
effect to fade them in or out, the fade works during the transition
but the labels then reappear once the transition is complete.

I fixed my problem by adding "visible = false" or "visible = true"
statements as appropriate in response to the "effectStart" and
"effectEnd" events.  You can see the original problem by removing
those event handlers.
