Fading dynamic number help

[MattchbookRomnce]

Ok heres my problem: I have a dynamic number that constantly changes. It's shows a number from the variable mattack. The dynamic number is located inside a movie clip. Inside that movie clip, the dynamic number is made into a graphic then tweened over 10 frames to move upwards and its alpha to change to 0%. I want the number to move upwards and fade away at the same time. But when you play the .swf, it just moves up and doesnt fade. I can change the tint and let it blend in with the background, but the graphic will NEVER change alpha to 0% and fade... why is this?


Movie clip>Graphic>dynamic text (variable: _root.mattack)
Graphic-----tween----->Graphic/0% alpha

why doesnt that work?

Dynamic text boxes can't have their alpha altered as far as I know.

even if the dynamic number is in a graphic? then how can it be faded? it cant?

[magcius]

They can fade, but only if you embed the fonts.
